Well, 100% of $28.50 is $28.50
ie: 100% = $28.50
*divide both sides by 100 to find 1% of $28.50*
1% = $0.285 (ie: 28 and a half cents)
*multiply both sides by three to find 3% of $28.50*
3% = $0.855 (ie: 85 and a half cents)

To take X percent of something is the same as multiplying by X/100.
So, to take 3% of something is the same as multiplying by 0.03.
So, the answer is $28.50 x 0.03 = $0.855 = 85.5 cents.

Simply multiply 28.50 by 0.03
(you have to move the decimal point to the left when you change from percent to decimal.)
