Answer:
He is not correct as 12% of something is less than 50% due to 12 being less than 50
Explanation:
12% of 1 is much less than 50%.
Lets convert these two numbers to decimals by moving the decimal two places forward.
50.%=.5
12.%=.12
Now that visual representation is out of the way lets see how much more 50% is compared to 12%
12/50=.24*100(To add a percentage) = 24% of 50%
But overall you can see this by seeing which number is bigger.
