Proposed solution
1. **Calculate the number of students enrolled in contemporary dance:**
The total number of students is 20.
20% of the students enrolled in contemporary dance.
$$20 \times 0.20 = 4 \text{ students}$$
2. **Calculate the number of remaining students:**
Subtract the contemporary dance students from the total.
$$20 - 4 = 16 \text{ students}$$
3. **Calculate the number of students enrolled in jazz dance:**
25% of the *remaining* students enrolled in jazz dance.
$$16 \times 0.25 = 4 \text{ students}$$
4. **Calculate the number of students enrolled in hip-hop dance:**
The rest of the students enrolled in hip-hop dance.
$$16 \text{ (remaining)} - 4 \text{ (jazz)} = 12 \text{ students}$$
Alternatively: $20 \text{ (total)} - 4 \text{ (contemporary)} - 4 \text{ (jazz)} = 12 \text{ students}$.
5. **Calculate the percentage of the entire students enrolled in hip-hop dance:**
We need to find what percentage 12 is of the total 20.
$$\frac{12}{20} \times 100\% = 0.6 \times 100\% = 60\%$$
\boxed{60\%}
