The left-handed students
12% are left handed, percent means per hundred. Change percent into per 100.
12% = \dfrac{12}{100}

Then simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4
\dfrac{12}{100}
= \dfrac{12:4}{100:4}
= \dfrac{3}{25}
This is the fraction showing the proportion of the left-handed students

The right-handed students
Determine the fraction showing the proportion of the right-handed students
1 - the left-handed
= 1 - \dfrac{3}{25}

Equalize the denominator to 25
\dfrac{25}{25} - \dfrac{3}{25}

Simplify
\dfrac{21}{25}
This is the proportion of the right-handed students

<span>Are there more right-handed or left-handed students?
There are more right-handed students than the left-handed students, because 21/25 is more than 3/25</span>
