|\Omega|=12+5+6+4=27\\|A|=12\\\\P(A)=(12)/(27)=(4)/(9)=44.4\%

Answer: 44.44% approximately

Work Shown:

P(red) = (number of red)/(number total)

P(red) = (12 red)/(12 red + 5 green + 6 yellow + 4 blue)

P(red) = (12 red)/(27 total)

P(red) = 12/27

P(red) = 4/9

P(red) = 0.4444 approximately

P(red) = 44.44% approximately
