anonymous · Answer

90000

anonymous · Answer

now divide by 4%?

anonymous · Answer

No, you multiply 4% to 90000

anonymous · Answer

But we need to change it to a decimal or a fraction.

anonymous · Answer

4% is the same as 0.04, so what is 0.04 x 90000? Or, you could do 4/100 x 90000.

mathmath333 · Answer

$90000\times 4\%$ u have to multily it

anonymous · Answer

$0.04\ \times\ 90000$
$\dfrac{4}{100}\times\ 90000$
