Question

For this problem what I did was that I multiplied 100 x 34 = 3,400 and subtracted that answer with 5,086. The answer I got was 1,686 but my answer was wrong. How do I go about to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer rounded to the nearest whole number is 1729

Step-by-step explanation:

Set it up like this:  Percent in fraction form = x over total

So:  34/100  = x/5086

You then multiply:   34 x 5086 = 172924

Then divided that number by 100:   172924 divided by 100 = 1729.24

Then round the number to the nearest whole number:   1729

Hope this helps good luck!
