Question

What percent of 60 is 12? Show your work. Is this wrong or right. 60/100 = 0.6*12 7.2% or do i removes the .2 off the percentage not really sure yet

Answer 1

You don't just go removing numbers here and there without a good reason. In any case, your whole approach here is wrong. You're calculating 60 percent of 12. But the question says to take 12 out of a group of 60 and tell what percent of the group you have. That's (12/60) x 100.
