Okay you subtract 280 from 600. Now you have 320 businesscards left. So you have 320/600. Simplify this number. You get 32/60 which can be further simplified to 8/15 Now do 8 divided by 15. You'll get .533333 so the answer is 53%. Hope this helps!

The answer is 53.33%. You have to take 600-280= 320, and then take 320/600 = 0.5333, to get a percent you must multiply by 100 which gives 0.5333 x 100 = 53.33%.
