Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] = the percentage

Set up the proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{16.8}{48}=\dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]\implies 16.8 \cdot 100=x \cdot 48[/tex]

[tex]\implies 1680=48x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 48:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1680}{48}=\dfrac{48x}{48}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 35=x[/tex]

Therefore, the solution is 35%
