Answer 15

If you read the question again it says:
What percent of 60 is 12?

now we were looking for this percent... Let's guess we've found it . And it's
20%

substitute 20 in x...
I'll write down equation for you.
\[\LARGE 60\cdot \frac{x}{100}=12\] substitute x=20 you should get both sides equal . :)

Answer 16

12/60 x 100 = 20 percent

Answer 17

does x means "times" ...
\[\LARGE \frac{12}{60}\cdot 100= 12 \quad \quad ?\]
