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%
