Since 28 is smaller than 31, and 28 represents a part of 31, logically your answer should be less than 100%. I was always taught to translate the English words of a problem like this into the language of math in this way: What percent (x/100) of (times) 31 is (equals) 28? Then the equation to solve would be: x/100 • 31 = 28. Solving for the unknown, x, which represents a percentage, the answer is 90.32%, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
