Answer 2

Answer:

10.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use this proportion:

is/of = percent/100

in this problem, 'is' equals 3

'of' equals 29

'what percent' means x/100

3/29 = x/100

cross-multiply to get:

29x = 300

x = 300/29, which is 10.3%

Check:

.103 x 29 should equal approximately 3 because I rounded 10.3 to the nearest tenth

.103 x 29 = 2.987    It works . . .
