Question

in 2012, the number of mobile phones in the United states was 103.9 percent of the population. explain how you would write the percent as a fraction

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you need the amount of people in the US at the time and besides I'm almost positive its over 100

Answer 2

To write 103.9 as a percent is 103.9% out of 100.

100/x=100/103.9
(100/x)*(100/103.9)*x
100=0.96246390760346*x
(0.96246390760346) to get x
100/0.96246390760346=x
103.9=x
x= 103.9

103.9% of 100 = 103.9
