2.98 percent of 2887.97 would be 0.0298 times 2887.97.
To do a percentage, just MOVE THE DECIMAL POINT OVER AND MULTIPLY.
Or if you don't need an exact answer, you could estimate it easily enough in your head: You know that 1 percent of $2900 would be $29, right? So 3 percent would be $87. So your answer will be somewhere close to $87.00.
