Take each second number and divide by the first number. The largest one is the answer.

mathstudent55 · Answer

For example, for school A, the fraction is 12/38
For each school you get a similar fraction.
The largest fraction is the largest percentage.

mathstudent55 · Answer

The quickest way to compare the fractions is to do each division with a calculator and compare answers.
