we'd do the same as before on this one as well.

if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 27.99&100\\ 12&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{27.99}{12}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 27.99x=1200 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1200}{27.99}\implies x\approx 42.87[/tex]
