12 The number of girls is the repeated identity. Make the number of girls the same. LCM of 7 and 2 is 14.
Number of students who do not wear watches
= 7 u + 4 u
= 11 u
Total number of students
= 7 u + 7 u + 4 u + 2 u
= 20 u
Percentage of the students in the zoo who do not wear watches
=
1120 x 100%
= 55%
Answer(s): 55%
