Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a lot greater. If you take 0.4% of some number and the answer is 76, you better be starting with something that is very large. The formula will make the solution automatic.

Formula

Let the number be x

0.4% x = 76

0.4% = 0.4/100

0.4 / 100 * x = 76            Multiply both sides of the equation by 100

0.4x = 76*100                Combine the right.

0.4x = 7600                  Divide by 0.4

x = 7600/0.4

x = 19000                       Which is quite a bit larger than 76
