Divide the total amount of customers that ordered a small cold over the number of customers that ordered a cold to find the requested probability.

The total amount of people that ordered a cold coffee, is:


8+12+5=25

Since 8 customers ordered a small cold coffee, then the probability is:


(8)/(25)

Write the probability as a percent:


(8)/(25)\cdot100\text{ \%}=32\text{ \%}

Therefore, the answer is:


32\text{ \%}
