X miles per hour  -  <span> speed of the boat in still water
(x - 2)  -  speed up the river
(x + 2)  -  speed down the river
</span>
\frac{30}{x - 2} = \frac{38}{x + 2}
30 * (x + 2) = 38 * (x - 2)
30x + 60 = 38x - 76
- 8x = - 136
x = 17 miles per hour  -  <span>the speed of the boat in still water.</span>

To find the percentage, we can divide 3500 by 42500, and multiply that by 100, resulting in 8 being our nearest whole percent
