Question

When a coin was tossed, it came up heads 12 times and tails 8 times.
What percent of the time did it come up tails?

Answer 1

Answer: 40% of the time the coin came up tails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coin is tossed 20 times. Of those 20 times, it came up tails 8 times (8/20). 8/20 = 0.4 = 40%
