Can you please help me with this problem and can you please solve the question using proportion

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",
Therefore we can write this problem as:
[tex]\frac{29}{36}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]Where x is the percent of carpenters who showed up.
We can solve this for x:
2900 = 36x
x = 2900/36
x = 80.6%.
