Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Let's set up a percent proportion:

12/x = 48/100

To solve for x, we would do:

x = (12*100)/48 = 1200/48 = 25

x = 25%

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this would be to look at this and notice that 12 * 4 =48 so that means 12 is 1/4 of 48 and 1/4 = 25%.

Let me know if you have any questions.
