Don't worry this won't be too hard.
All you need to do is add them to find out the total.

anonymous · Answer

Percent tells you what part of the whole thing you have.

anonymous · Answer

Then you take the amount from the yellow pages (700) and divide it by the total. Then multiply it by 100 and that is your percent.

anonymous · Answer

The total is 2350.

700/2350 *100= 29.787234
