Answer: 3/25

Explanation:

If 12 percent of the students in your class are left-handed, it means that the remaining 88 percent are right-handed.

To express this as a fraction, you can write the fraction of left-handed students as 12/100, and the fraction of right-handed students as 88/100. You can simplify these fractions by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4 in this case.

So, 12/100 simplifies to 3/25, and 88/100 simplifies to 22/25

Remember that a percentage can always be represented by a fraction :)

So 15/100 = 15%

10/100 = 10%

80/100 = 80%
