Answer:

11 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

33 of 300 can be written as: 33/300.

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100: 33/300 × 100/100 = (33 × 100 / 300) × 1/100 = 11/100.

Therefore, the answer is 11%

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 33 ÷ 300 × 100 which will give you 11 as the answer.
