Answer:
$8.2\%$

Explanation:- Volume percentage is the ratio of volume of solute to the volume of solution defined in terms of percentage.

${\text {volume percentage}}=\frac{\text {volume of solute}}{\text {volume of solution}}* 100\%$

Given: volume of solute = 29.4 ml

Volume of solution= 359 ml

${\text {volume percentage}=(29.4)/(359)* 100\%=8.2\%$
