We are tasked with finding which student made 60% of their free throw attempts based on the given data.

### Table Recap:
- **Tyson:** 6 made, 12 attempted
- **Orville:** 10 made, 15 attempted
- **Jimmy:** 12 made, 20 attempted
- **Dean:** 15 made, 27 attempted

### To solve:
We need to calculate the percentage of successful free throws for each student using the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Free Throws Made}}{\text{Free Throws Attempted}} \right) \times 100
\]

#### 1. Tyson:
\[
\frac{6}{12} \times 100 = 50\%
\]

#### 2. Orville:
\[
\frac{10}{15} \times 100 = \frac{10}{15} \times 100 = 66.67\%
\]

#### 3. Jimmy:
\[
\frac{12}{20} \times 100 = 60\%
\]

#### 4. Dean:
\[
\frac{15}{27} \times 100 = 55.56\%
\]

### Answer:
**Jimmy** made exactly 60% of his free throw attempts.
