16.6% of the races!
Explanation:
Divide the amount of times he placed second by the amount of races he participated in. That means you have to do 5/30. Then multiply it by 100! That is how you get 16.6%. The same goes for the other situations, if you were trying to find the percentage of how much he placed first, all you'd have to do is divide 12/30 and multiply by 100.
