12 The number of boys is the repeated identity. Make the number of boys the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Number of students who do not wear glasses
= 3 u + 6 u
= 9 u
Total number of students
= 3 u + 3 u + 6 u + 8 u
= 20 u
Percentage of the students in the fun fair who do not wear glasses
=
920 x 100%
= 45%
Answer(s): 45%
