    30%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find a percent, use this equation:

    x/100 = n/t

    where x is the percent, n is the select number of things, and t is the total number of things

    Substitute:

    x/100 = n/t

    x/100 = number of shots Marin made/number of shots attempted

    x/100 = 12/40

    Now, we need to cross multiply, or multiply the numerators by the denominators of the other fraction, and vice versa.

    Multiply:

    x/100 = 12/40

    x (40) = 40x

    100 (12) = 1200

    40x = 1200

    Now, divide both sides of the equation to find the value of x.

    Divide:

    40x = 1200

    /40 / 40

    x = 30

    Now we have the percent is fraction form: 30/100

    To make it a percentage, simply take the numerator and add the % sign.

    Therefore, Martin made 30% of his shots.
