What is 4.93% of $4000?

Question

I say it is $197.20 and my husband says it is $19.72. Who is right and how did oyu figure it out?

Answer 1

You are correct. You just multiply it by .0493, and you divide 4.93 by one hundred to get the corresponding percentage.

Your husband's value would be .493%


Good job!

Answer 2

You're right, it's $197.20. You would make the proportion 4.93/100 = x/4000. Then, cross-multiplying, you would come up with 4.93x4000/100, which equals $197.20. There might be an easier way of doing it but thats just how I think of percents. :)

Answer 3

work out what 1% of $4000 is, so 4000/100 = $40

now you have a value for 1% times that by 4.93 to give the answer:

so $40 * 4.93 = $197.2

btw did you husband even attend school, its really worrying he cant do basic maths....

Answer 4

The correct answeris $197.20. You multiply the percentage times the dollar amount. To multiply the percentage, you have to move the decimal two places to the left (.0493). Then multiply .0493 x 4000 and you get the answer.

Answer 5

4.93 X 4000 = 19720.00 / 100 = 197.20

makes you right!

Answer 6

It's simple, divide 4.93 by 100 and then mutiply by 4000, that will give you 197.2

Answer 7

4.93% of $100 is $4.93
now move the decimal place one place to the right making 49.3
this is in effect multiplying it by ten to represent 4.93% of 1000

now multiply 49.3 by 4 = $197.20

your husband is giving you 4.93% of 400

Answer 8
