Step-by-step explanation:

29/12 = 2 5/12
!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100.
Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.
x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12
Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.
12%... (3×4)/(25×4) = 12/100... 12/100 = .12 which is 12%
Answer:
Mary's mistake was that she didn't take into account of the power that 10 is raised to; since 2.01 is multiplied by 10 to the 6, it makes 2.01 bigger. You can also expand the number to check:
2 010 000 vs. 4800
