The point estimate or p hat is a single value that shows the best estimation of a certain parameter among a population.

To calculate point estimate, we divide the parameter by the whole population.

In case of this problem:
p hat = 51/84 = 0.607

To get the percent, we multiply the output by 100:
% of point estimate = 0.607 x 100 = 60.7%
