Answer 1

To express the number 3658 as a percent, multiply by 100 to get 365800%. When rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the answer remains 365800.00%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the number 3658 to a percent, we can follow the steps below:

1. Understand that a percent is essentially a fraction with a denominator of 100. Therefore, to convert a number to a percent, you are finding out how much out of 100 that number represents.
2. Since 3658 is a whole number, we can think of this as 3658 over 1 (3658/1).
3. To convert it to a percentage, you need to multiply the number by 100. In mathematical terms, 3658 × 100 equals 365,800%.
4. However, we need to round this to the nearest hundredth of a percent. The digit in the thousandths place is 0, which is not greater than 5, so we would not round up the number in the hundredths place.
5. Therefore, the final answer is 365800.00% when rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
