14 The number of girls is the repeated identity. Make the number of girls the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Number of students who wear caps
= 3 u + 12 u
= 15 u
Total number of students
= 1 u + 3 u + 4 u + 12 u
= 20 u
Percentage of the students in the stadium who wear caps
=
1520 x 100%
= 75%
Answer(s): 75%
