To determine the percentage of Reed's trucks that are at Reliable Rides, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of trucks: From the table, we see that there are 50 trucks in total.

2. Identify the number of trucks at Reliable Rides: According to the table, Reliable Rides has 28 trucks.

3. Calculate the percentage of trucks at Reliable Rides: To find the percentage, divide the number of trucks at Reliable Rides by the total number of trucks, and then multiply the result by 100.

[tex]\[ \text{Percentage of trucks at Reliable Rides} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Trucks at Reliable Rides}}{\text{Total Number of Trucks}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

4. Plug in the numbers:

[tex]\[ \text{Percentage of trucks at Reliable Rides} = \left( \frac{28}{50} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

5. Perform the division and multiplication:

[tex]\[ \left( \frac{28}{50} \right) \times 100 = 56 \][/tex]

Thus, approximately 56% of Reed's trucks are at Reliable Rides.

So the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 56 \% \][/tex]
