Answer:

58%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing that you have to do if figure out how many sandwiches are left we do this by the total - bad sandwiches = good sandwiches

12-5=7

There are 7 good sandwiches left. To figure out the percentage you do       [tex]\frac{part}{total}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{percent}{100}[/tex]     now we fill in the parts the part is 7, the total is 12 and the % is x

[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]          now we cross multiply, 7 x 100 and 12 x X

700=12x          now we divide both sides by 12 so the x is alone

x = 58.33            now we round down because it ends in.3

x=58

Answer:

58%

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can set up the equation 7/12 (good sandwiches to total sandwiches).

Now you can divide 7 by 12 to get .58 which is 58 percent.
