66 2/3%

Explanation:

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 12boys 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.)
