Answer:

33.33%

Explanation:

Divide the part (32 lbs) from the total (96 lbs):

32/96 = ~0.3333 (rounded to the nearest ten thousandths).

To change the decimal to percentage, simply move the decimal point to the right two place values and add a percentage sign:

0.3333 = 33.33%

33.33% is your answer.
