Is there some reason that you feel the need to shout? Typing in ALL CAPS is the text communication equivalent of shouting. It is both annoying and rude.

The answer to your question depends on whether you are considering the piece that goes from 12 to 3 clockwise, or from 12 to 3 counterclockwise. The 3 is at 90 degrees from 12, so the smaller piece is 90/360 or 1/4. The larger piece is then 3/4. Just convert 1/4 or 3/4, whichever you think it is, to percent. You can do that by dividing the denominator of the fraction into the numerator and then multiplying the result by 100.
