I got $12 %$ $12%$

Explanation:

Let us call the required percent $x %$ $x%$ ; we can try using fraction to write:
$\frac{400}{48}$ $400/48$ must be the same as $\frac{100 %}{x %}$ $(100%)/(x%)$
or:
$\frac{400}{48} = \frac{100 %}{x %}$ $400/48=(100%)/(x%)$
rearranging:
$x % = \frac{48}{400} \cdot 100 % = 12 %$ $x%=48/400*100%=12%$

$12 %$ $12%$

Explanation:

Write $48$ $48$ as a fraction of $400$ $400$ and make the denominator 100.

$\frac{48}{400} \frac{\div 4}{\div 4} = \frac{12}{100} = 12 %$ $48/400 (div4)/(div4) = 12/100 = 12%$

You can also take a fraction and $\times 100 %$ $xx 100%$

$\frac{48}{400} \times 100 %$ $48/400 xx 100%$

$cancel48^12/cancel400^cancel4 xx cancel100%$

= $12%$
