Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation: So first make the number of people who ran the marathon and the number of people who finished the marathon into a ratio

1200:4800

then make that into a fraction, 1200/4800

then make the percent of people who reached the marathon into a fraction, using 100 as the denominator and a variable as the numerator.

for example. p/100 (p, represents the percent)

then cross multiply.

1200x100=1200000

Last divide 1200000 by 4800 to get 25%.
