Step-by-step explanation

We are given the following expression:


4\%\text{ }of\text{ }1,100

We are required to determine the value of the expression above.

First, we change the percentage to its equivalent fraction as follows:


4\%=(4)/(100)

Next, we evaluate the expression as follows:


\begin{gathered} 4\%\text{ }of\text{ }1,100 \\ =(4)/(100)*1100 \\ =4*11 \\ =44 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 44.

Option D is correct.
