12 The number of girls is the repeated identity. Make the number of girls the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Number of students who wear spectacles
= 3 u + 8 u
= 11 u
Total number of students
= 3 u + 3 u + 6 u + 8 u
= 20 u
Percentage of the students in the bird park who wear spectacles
=
1120 x 100%
= 55%
