Answer:

The answer is


67\%

Explanation:

To find the percentage increase we use the formula


Percentage \: change = (change)/(original \: \: quantity) * 100\%

From the question

The original value = 12

To find the change we subtract the smaller value from the larger one

That's

Change = 20 - 12 = 8

So the percentage increase is


(8)/(12) * 100 \%\\ = (2)/(3) * 100\% \\ = 66.67\%

We have the final answer as


67\% to the nearest whole number

Hope this helps you
