To find the percent. A trick I learned in middle school was Dr. P

To turn a decimal to a percent and a percent to decimal... (look at picture)

Using that trick...

All you do is multiply $287.69 by .20

Which gives you $57.538 so you can round to either...

$57.54
Or
$57.50
Or
$58

And one of those are your answer!
