This problem revolves around the exact same idea JamesJ was trying to explain.

I'm 100% sure that if you had paid attention to what he was trying to teach you, then you wouldn't be here asking us this question.

Answer 2

question is asking "3,900 is 4% of what number?"

Answer 3

3900/.04=97500

dont vent on me

Answer 8

Why are you being so rude? Lol your making yourself look so immature. Please stop. And no I'm not asking it on demand. So why don't you get your facts straight?

Answer 9

convert to math as follows
3,900 is the number 3,900
"is" means "="
"4%" means ".04"
"of" means "times"
"what" is an unknown, so use a variable. i choose x
\[3,900=.04\times x\] then solve via
\[3,900\div .04=x\]

Answer 10

JackJones please don't pay attention. Your just helping me. Thanks. I see where I went wrong on the problem, :)

I see you have a distorted notion of the adjective "rude."

All I ask is you give the problem a try and ask us where you went wrong... if at all.
