11. 25% is one quarter ; so the whole class would be four quarters , or four times 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12. 25% is the remaining class members (100% - 75%)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "of that 25% , 40% (100% - 60%) took fewer than six math courses\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "40% of 25% is ___ .4 * .25 = .1 ___ or ___ 10% \n" ); document.write( "
