Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total two - night stays

We need to find the total number of two - night stays. For Motel X, the number of two - night stays is 453, and for Motel Y, it is 708. So we add these two numbers: $453 + 708=1161$.

Step2: Calculate total number of stays

We find the total number of stays by adding the number of one - night stays and two - night stays for both motels. The number of one - night stays: for Motel X it is 311, for Motel Y it is 536, so total one - night stays is $311+536 = 847$. The total number of stays is total one - night stays plus total two - night stays, so $847+1161 = 2008$.

Step3: Calculate the percentage of two - night stays

The formula for percentage is $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of two - night stays}}{\text{Total number of stays}}\times100\%$. Substituting the values we found: $\frac{1161}{2008}\times100\%\approx57.82\%$.

Answer:

$57.82\%$
