#66.67%#

#66.67%# is the result from the fraction or the ratio of

#(8/12 xx 100)%.#

#66 2/3%#

The question is probably understood easier if it is asked as:

"What percent is #8 " out of " 12#"

This can be regarded as a mark on a short test, or as a fraction of something.

For example, #8# boys out of #12#boys on the team played last year.

To find the percent:

#color(red)("fraction" xx 100%)#

#8/12 xx 100% = 66.66666.....%#

#=66 2/3%#

(It is more accurate to give a fraction of a percent than to round off the recurring decimal.)
