Answer 1

24% finished and 76% did not

Explanation:

you have the ratios:

12/50 and 38/50

These have to be turned into percentages so they need to have a denominator of 100

to do this, figure out what you have to multiply the denominator by to get 100

In this case, 50 times 2 is equivalent to 100.

Then, whatever you multiplied the denominator by, you multiply the numerator by

In this case, 12 times 2 is 24 and 38 times 2 is 76

Once you have the end products, take the numerator and add a percentage sign to it

Chat me if you have anymore questions

Answer 2

24% finished, 76% did not

Explanation:

12cars/50 total +24%, and then just subtract 100% by the 24 to get 76% for the remaining percent
