Answer 1

i believe it’s $3,750
explanation:
To get a percentage there’s many to calculated it. Personally, i multiply the total amount by the decimal. In this case the total amount would be 5000 dlls, which equals to 100%. The question is asking for 75%, so .75; because 100 is 1 whole.
So to get things answer you multiply 5000x.75 which equals to 3750 dlls.
