My answer is 1200-1000=200

200/1200= 1/6 ( some wrong )

That's not the answer I got when I divided 200 by 1200.

You need to find the decimal answer. Use a calculator.

Answered by Tomas
the decimal answer is 0.1666666
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right.

To find the percent, multiply:

0.1666666 * 100 = 16 2/3%
