First, let's determine the number of business cards left:

600 - 280 = 320 business cards left.

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as

x / 100

We can then write:

x / 100 = 320 / 600

100 * x / 100 = 100 * 320/600

100 * x / 100 = 32000 / 600

x = 320 / 6

x = 53.33 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

53.33 % of business cards are left.
