Answer 2

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 3 out of 25 men are left handed.

Percentage is defined as number of left-handed persons(for this question) out of 100.

If there are 3 left-handed out of 25. Then how many would be there for 100?

If you observe 100 and 25 are related as, 100 = 25 x 4

So multiplying 3  by a factor of 4 gives percentage.

i.e 12 persons out of 100 are left-handed.

Hence 12% people are left-handed.
