Question

fill in the missing number.
73% of 4,900 = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \(73\% = \frac{73}{100}= 0.73\).

Step2: Multiply the decimal by the number

Now, we multiply this decimal by 4900. So, \(0.73\times4900\).
Calculating \(0.73\times4900\):
We can calculate \(73\times49\) first and then add two zeros (since 4900 has two zeros).
\(73\times49=(70 + 3)\times49=70\times49+3\times49 = 3430+147 = 3577\). Then adding two zeros (because we had 4900 which is 49\times100) gives us 3577.

Answer:

3577
