The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation and Solution:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Problem:<\/strong>
3984 is what percent of 24.9?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation into a mathematical equation:<\/strong>
Let xx be the percent value we want to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We translate \u201c3984 is what percent of 24.9\u201d into: x%\u00d724.9=3984x\\% \\times 24.9 = 3984<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convert x%x\\% to a decimal: x100\u00d724.9=3984\\frac{x}{100} \\times 24.9 = 3984<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now solve for xx: x100=398424.9\\frac{x}{100} = \\frac{3984}{24.9} x100\u2248159.83735\\frac{x}{100} \\approx 159.83735 x\u224815983.735x \\approx 15983.735<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Answer:<\/strong> 15983.735%\\boxed{15983.735\\%}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Understanding percent problems involves recognizing the relationship between parts and wholes. The phrase \u201c3984 is what percent of 24.9?\u201d is asking: how many hundredths (or parts per hundred) of 24.9 equal 3984<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve this, we convert the word problem into a mathematical equation using basic percent concepts. In general, the structure is: Percent=(PartWhole)\u00d7100\\text{Percent} = \\left( \\frac{\\text{Part}}{\\text{Whole}} \\right) \\times 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our case, the part<\/strong> is 3984, and the whole<\/strong> is 24.9. Plugging those into the formula: (398424.9)\u00d7100\\left( \\frac{3984}{24.9} \\right) \\times 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simplifies to: 159.83735\u00d7100=15983.735%159.83735 \\times 100 = 15983.735\\%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that 3984 is 15,983.735%<\/strong> of 24.9. The number seems unusually large, which is a good opportunity to reflect on why. Generally, percent values are often within the 0\u2013100% range when dealing with everyday quantities. But in cases where the \u201cpart\u201d (numerator) is much larger than the \u201cwhole\u201d (denominator), the result is a percent value well over 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In context, if you started with only 24.9 of something (say dollars) and ended up with 3984, you have increased your amount by over 159 times<\/strong>, or nearly 16,000%<\/strong> of the original value. This illustrates how percent can powerfully express large relative differences, which is especially useful in financial growth, population changes, or comparing vastly different quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, 3984 is 15,983.735% of 24.9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
