Proposed solution
Here is the step-by-step solution:
1. **Find the number of students enrolled in contemporary dance:**
The problem states that 20% of the 20 students enrolled in contemporary dance.
$$0.20 \times 20 = 4 \text{ students}$$
2. **Find the number of remaining students:**
Subtract the contemporary dance students from the total number of students.
$$20 - 4 = 16 \text{ students}$$
3. **Find the number of students enrolled in jazz dance:**
The problem states that 25% of the *remaining* students enrolled in jazz dance.
$$0.25 \times 16 = 4 \text{ students}$$
4. **Find the number of students enrolled in hip-hop dance:**
The rest of the students enrolled in hip-hop dance. We subtract the jazz dance students from the remaining students calculated in step 2.
$$16 - 4 = 12 \text{ students}$$
5. **Calculate the percentage of the entire class enrolled in hip-hop dance:**
Divide the number of hip-hop students by the total number of students and multiply by 100.
$$\frac{12}{20} \times 100\% = 0.6 \times 100\% = 60\%$$
\boxed{60\%}
