Answer 1

`~~14.12%" to 2 decimal places"`

Explanation:

`"to convert a fraction to a percent"`

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)("multiply the fraction by 100%")color(white)(2/2)|)))`

`"the fraction we require is "12/85`

`rArr12/85xx100/1%`

`=(12xx100)/85~~14.12%" to 2 decimal places"`

Answer 2

14.12%

Explanation:

Per cent means " out of 100" (cent as in century, centurion, centennial, etc.)

So `12/85=x/100`

Multiply both sides by 100 to get `x` by itself

`(12*100)/85 =x`

`x=14.1176`
