​

Answer 1

A. Women

84/200 =

84 ÷ 200 =

0.42

Step 2: Convert the result to decimal
0.42 = 42%

B. Children
Step 1: Divide 12 by 200
12/200 =

12 ÷ 200 =

0.06

Step 2: Convert the result to decimal
0.06 = 6%

C. Other
Step 1: Add the given numbers
84 + 12 = 96

Step 2: Subtract the total from the result
200 - 96 = 104

Step 3: Divide 104 by 200
104/200 =

104 ÷ 200 =

0.52

Step 4: Convert 0.52 to decimal
0.52 = 52%
