1. The problem asks: What percent of 28 is 33.88? We need to find the percent, base, and amount. 2. Important definitions: - Percent is the part per hundred we want to find. - Base is the whole or total amount we compare to. - Amount is the part or portion of the base. 3. From the problem: - Base = 28 (the total quantity) - Amount = 33.88 (the part we compare) - Percent = ? (what percent of 28 is 33.88) 4. The formula relating these is: $$\text{Percent} = \frac{\text{Amount}}{\text{Base}} \times 100$$ 5. Substitute the values: $$\text{Percent} = \frac{33.88}{28} \times 100$$ 6. Calculate the fraction: $$\frac{33.88}{28} = 1.21$$ (rounded to two decimal places) 7. Multiply by 100: $$1.21 \times 100 = 121.00$$ 8. So, the percent is 121.00%. Final answers: - Percent = 121.00% - Base = 28 - Amount = 33.88
