I believe so but when I do divide, I get a decimal answer.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Do you have any multiple choice answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, how would I turn that into %?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Move the decimal two places to the right (x100).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

323?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes

Okay, thank you so much @calculusxy. So, 323 is my answer?
