Remember that percentages are ratios comparing the part to the whole.
Part%2Fwhole+=++2811%2F%282177%2B2811%2B1292%2B52%29+=+2811%2F6332
Now change the fraction to a decimal by dividing:
2811 divided by 6332 = .4439
Change the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100.
.4439+%2A+100+=+44.39%25
Last step, round to the nearest tenth:
44.4%
