The percent for 3 out of 12 is 25%

If the total number of games was 100, the win amount would need to be 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 12 is a fraction - 3/12

3/12 = 0.25 which means 25% because 0.25 is 25% of 1.

Using the same percentage for 100 total games, you just multiply 100 by 0.25, the decimal version of the percentage.
