To find the percentage of the total amount Justin spent on fruit, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{total}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the part is the amount spent on fruit, which is $12, and the total amount spent is $60. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{12}{60} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating the fraction:
\[
\frac{12}{60} = 0.2
\]
Now, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
\[
0.2 \times 100 = 20
\]
Thus, Justin spent **20%** of his total amount on fruit.
