Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula

We know the formula \( R \cdot B = A \), where \( R \) is the rate (percentage), \( B \) is the base, and \( A \) is the amount. We need to find \( R \), so we can rearrange the formula to \( R=\frac{A}{B} \).

Step2: Identify values of A and B

Here, \( A = 303 \) and \( B = 628 \).

Step3: Calculate R

Substitute the values into the formula: \( R=\frac{303}{628}\approx0.4825 \).

Step4: Convert to percentage

To convert \( R \) to a percentage, multiply by 100: \( 0.4825\times100 = 48.25\% \).

Answer:

\( 48.25\% \)
