Answer: 25% of the beings preferred tott juice.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, 12 represents the 100%.
We want to know which percentage represents the number 3.
Then we have the relation:
12 = 100%
3 = X%
Where X% is the percentage we want to find.
We can take the quotients between these two equations to get:
(12/3) = (100%/X%)
Now we need to solve this for X%
(12/3)*X% = 100%
X% = (100%)/(12/3) = (100%)*(3/12) = 25%
This means that 3 is the 25% of 12.
Then 25% of the beings preferred tott juice.
