To convert $2 \frac{3}{10}$ to a percent, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: $2 \frac{3}{10} = \frac{23}{10}$. Then, convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: $\frac{23}{10} = 2.3$. Finally, to convert the decimal to a percent, multiply by 100: $2.3 \times 100 = 230\%$.
