Answer 1

Mrs. Davis has 20 people in her 6th period class. 12 of the people are boys. What percent of Mrs. Davis's 6th period class are boys? 70% 40% 50% 60%​

we know that

20 people represent 100%

so

Applying proportion

20/100%=12/x

solve for x

x=(100*12)/20

x=60%

therefore

the answer is 60%
