You can make the numbers into a fraction (3/25) then divide this fraction, which equals 12. So, 12% of men are left handed

Lets write this in fraction form 1st. (3 out of 25)


(3)/(25)

Now we will turn
(3)/(25) into a decimal. To do this we will divide the numerator by the denominator.

3 ÷ 25 = 0.12

Now to change 0.12 to a fraction we will multiply by 100.

0.12 × 100 = 12

12%

So, 12% are left-handed.

Hope I helped ya!!!!!!!!!
