Answer: 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Total dishes.
Dishes from China = [tex]\dfrac38x[/tex]
Dishes from Japan = [tex]12.5\% \text{ of }x= 0.125x[/tex]
Total dishes from China and Japan = [tex]\dfrac38 x+0.125x=0.375x+0.125x=0.5x[/tex]
Dishes from other countries [tex]= x- 0.5x= 0.5x[/tex]
Percent of dishes from other countries= [tex]\dfrac{0.5x}{x}\times100\%= 50\%[/tex]
Hence, dishes from other countries = 50%
