SOLUTION:

To find the value of 79 \frac{1}{4} \% \times 12

Now, take the given percentage value

`\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 79 (1)/(4) \% \text { of } 12=79 (1)/(4) \% * 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow (79 * 4+1)/(4) \% * 12=(316+1)/(4) \% * 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow (317)/(4) \% * 12=(317)/(4) * (1)/(100) * 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow 317 * (1)/(100) * 3=951 * (1)/(100)=9.51}\end{array}`

Note: % means "per one hundred" that is
`(1)/(100)`

For example, 5% means
