(3)/(25) is the same as writing 3/25 when writing it out on a computer keyboard.

Use long division or a calculator to find that 3/25 = 0.12 exactly without any rounding done to it.

Then move the decimal point two spots to the right. It will turn 0.12 into 12%

----------------------

Another approach: Multiply top and bottom of 3/25 by 4 to get 12/100. That leads to 12% because "percent" means "per 100".

As another example, 78/100 means 78%.

----------------------

Answer: 12%
