#0.34%#

Explanation:

#1#. Start by representing the percentage with the variable, #x%#. Using #x%#, create an algebraic expression.

#29%xx x=3#

#2#. Solve for #x# by dividing both sides by #29#.

#29xcolor(red)(-:29)=3color(red)(-:29)#

#x~~0.1034#

#3#. Convert #0.1034# into a percentage by multiplying the decimal by #100%#.

#x~~0.1034xx100%#

#color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)x~~10.34%color(white)(a/a)|)))#
