Question 708433
To solve this problem, figure out what we know:  We know that 12 out of the 60 children have brown eyes.  In other words, 12/60.  To find the percentage, divide 12 by 60 and multiply that result by 100:


{{{12/60 = .20}}} ===> {{{100 x .20 = 20}}}


Therefore 20% of the children have brown eyes.
