Answer in fraction form = 8/25

Answer in decimal form = 0.32

Answer in percent form = 32%

We have 8 instances of "3" showing up out of 25 total rolls, which is where the fraction 8/25 comes from. Use your calculator to find that 8/25 = 0.32. Or you could multiply top and bottom of 8/25 by 4 to get 32/100 = 0.32 = 32%
