Answer:

60.5%

Explanation:

Set up a comparison

22.99 over 37.99 equals x over 100

Then multiply the top of the one side with the bottom of the other

22.99 x 100 = 2299

Divide 2299 by 37.99 to solve for X

We call this bat and ball or butterfly

x = 60.5%

Since it says nearest percent I would round up to 61%
