Percent is per cent (hundred). So, what you have to do is set the expression 1/12 over 100.

1/12=x/100

Multiply the top number on the left side with the bottom number on the right side.

1 * 100 = 100

Now multiply the bottom number on the left side with the top number on the right side.

12 * x = 12x

Now we have a new equation:

12x=100.

Divide both sides by 12...

100/12= 8.333333...

Move the decimal place over two places to the left...

0.08333333

And there's our answer!
