Answer:

57.14% of Charlie's jeans are denim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie has 12 + 5 + 4 = 21 pairs of jeans total.

12 of those jeans are denim jeans.

So to get a fraction, we put the denim over the total:

12/21 = .5714 on the calculator.

To change this to a percentage, we move the decimal back two places.

.5714 -> 57.14% of Charlie's jeans are denim.
