You could solve this using a proportion or just by common sense.
Proportion: 8/12 = x/126
Cross multiply: 12x = 1008
1008/12 = 84
Or the common sense route is just dividing 12 by 8 then multiplying the answer by 126. Either way, you get the same answer. Hope this helps! :)

8/12=2/3=66.667%
(2/3)*126=84 people were happy
126-84=42 people were not happy
(2/3)*126=84 people were happy
126-84=42 people were not happy
