Answer: heres an example

Step-by-step explanation:Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

X is 60, Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form. You need to multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Converting 0.20 to a percent: 0.20 * 100 = 20%
