So when you round it, you get .01 %, right?
Answered by Damon
33*100/88 = 37.5 %

You did it right but to get percent from fraction multiply by 100 and your arithmetic is wrong.
33/88 = .375

The real question is:

33/88 = x/100
Answered by Ms. Sue
I get a different answer.

33/88 = 0.375
Move the decimal two places to the right.
0.375 = 37.5%

Let's check that.

0.375 * 88 = 33

Yep! My answer is correct.
