Let’s re-evaluate the calculation to ensure we get the correct result.

We need to find 100% when $18.88 is 6.25%. Using the steps outlined:

1. Let $ x $ be the value of 100%.
2. Set up the proportion:
   \[
   \frac{6.25}{100} = \frac{18.88}{x}
   \]
3. Cross-multiply to solve for $ x $:
   \[
   6.25 \times x = 18.88 \times 100
   \]
4. Simplify the equation:
   \[
   6.25x = 1888
   \]
5. Divide both sides by 6.25:
   \[
   x = \frac{1888}{6.25}
   \]

Now, perform the division:
\[
x = \frac{1888}{6.25} = 302.08
\]

The calculation of $\frac{1888}{6.25} \approx 302.08$ is correct. Let's verify it again with a calculator:

\[
1888 \div 6.25 = 302.08
\]

Given your concern, let's recheck it manually:

\[
1888 \div 6.25 = 302.08
\]

Therefore, the previous answer $ x = 302.08 $ is indeed correct.
