1. **State the problem:** We want to find the amount Rosa saves out of 100 dollars, given a ratio table of dollars saved to dollars earned.
2. **Given data:**
- Dollars Saved (Part): 3, 12
- Dollars Earned (Whole): 20, 80, 100
3. **Understand the ratio:** The ratio of dollars saved to dollars earned should be constant.
4. **Write the ratio:**
$$\frac{3}{20} = \frac{12}{80} = \frac{x}{100}$$
where $x$ is the amount saved out of 100 dollars.
5. **Use the ratio to find $x$:**
$$\frac{3}{20} = \frac{x}{100}$$
6. **Cross multiply:**
$$3 \times 100 = 20 \times x$$
$$300 = 20x$$
7. **Divide both sides by 20:**
$$x = \frac{300}{20}$$
8. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$x = \frac{\cancel{300}^{15}}{\cancel{20}^{1}} = 15$$
9. **Answer:** Rosa saves **15 dollars** out of 100.
