Answer:

Nearly 83.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves connected in the brain.

10 of these pairs are related to the site, smell, taste, and sound.

So,

12 - 100%

10 - x%

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{12}{10}=\dfrac{100}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]12\cdot x=10\cdot 100\\ \\12x=1,000[/tex]

Divide by 12:

[tex]x=\dfrac{1,000}{12}=\dfrac{250}{3}\approx 83.33\%[/tex]
