Hey there!


\bold{12\% = 0.12\ (as\ a\ decimal)}


\bold{Percentages\ are\ out\ of\ 100}}


\bold{Equation:(0.12)/(1)* (100)/(100)}


\bold{Cross\ multiply}


\bold{(0.12*100)/(1*100)}


\bold{Numerator: 0.12*100 =12}


\bold{Denominator: 1*100=100}


\bold{Equation: (12)/(100)}


\bold{Reduce\ your\ equation!}


\bold{(12/4)/(100/4)= \ ANSWER}


\bold{Numerator: 12/3=4}


\bold{Denominator: 100/4=25}


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer: (3)/(25)}}}\huge\checkmark

Good l on your assignment and enjoy your day!
