A - 16.66666...%
B - 24 people
C - 6%
D - 6 people

Answer 1

C. 6%

Explanation:

First we need to divide the amount of people who got the allergic reaction by how many people were there.

So: 12 ÷ 200 = 0.06

Now, we need to multiply 0.06 by a whole percent, the whole percent is 100.

So: 0.06 × 100 = 6

6% of the people had a mild allergic reaction.
