In percentage, 100% is the basis. 12% is 12/100 or simplified to 6/50

100% - 12% = 88% of the students in class are right handed.

Assuming the number of students in class is 100. Then, 12% of the class is 12 and 88% of the class is 88. 

Comparing 12% and 88% it is clear that there are more right-handed students in class than there are left-handed students.

12%
= 12/100
= (12/4) / (100/4)
= 3/25

100% -12%= 88%

Because 88%> 12%, there are more right-handed students. 

The fraction of the students who are left-handed is 3/25~
