Turn this into an equation, "12 is what percent of 15"
For "what percent" use x / 100:
12 = x/100 * 15
x / 100 = 12/15
x / 100 = 0.80
x = 0.80 * 100
x = 80
Therefore:
12 is 80 percent of 15

12 goes into 15 .8 times... (in other words 12/15=.8) move that decimal over to the right 2 times and it is 80% 12 is 80% of 15

if 15 is 100%
then 12 is ?
when the answer is less, more (bigger number) divides
Ans: (12 x 100)/ 15=1200/15=80%

Whenever you see the word of it means you need to multiply.
12 = Y x 15
Y = 0.8
X 100
so it is 80 percent.
