    percent is parts out of 100

    x%=x/100

    dance is 4 minutes or 4*60=240 seconds

    she starts with music and ends 12 seconds before music stops. she therefore uses 240-12=228 seconds

    used/total=x%,

    228/240=x/100

    solve for x

    multiply both sides by 100

    22800/240=x

    95=x

    answer is 95%

    a.

    since 8>4, I will say that benjamin hits the bull's eye more times (even though if they were given the same amount of throws, annie would probably hit the bull's eye more times)

    b.

    annie:

    4 out of 25

    4/25=x/100

    multiply both sides by 100

    400/25=x

    16=x, so she hits it 16% of the time

    benjie

    8 out of 100

    8/100=x/100

    x=8

    so he hits 8% of the time

    16%>8% so annie is more accurate
