transportation and road is 308 / 948 of county improvements.

this equals .325949367 which is equivalent to 32.5949367 percent.

round that to the nearest hundredth of a percent to get 32.59%.

32.59% of their county improvements bill went to transportation and roads.

Per cent means "per one hundred"
+x%2F100+=+308%2F948
Multiply both sides by 100%2A948
948x+=+30800
+x+=+30800%2F948
+x+=+32.489+
The family paid 32.49% for transportation and roads.
