Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let's use the formula for finding the rate:
rate = (part/whole) x 100
In this case, the part is $906 and the whole is $1,936. So the rate can be found by:
rate = (906/1936) x 100 ≈ 46.8%
Therefore, the best choice is C. We need to solve for the rate, which represents the percentage. 
Let x be the rate we are looking for. We can set up the following equation:

$906 = x\% * 1936$

To solve for x, we want to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can start by dividing both sides by 1936:

$906/1936 = x\%$

Now we can solve for x by multiplying both sides by 100:

$100 * \frac{906}{1936} = x$

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, we get x ≈ 46.8. Therefore, the answer is choice C.
