If we are rounding to the nearest tenth, it is 42.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking for a percentage, you take the number out of the whole that you are using (3,850). Then you divide it by the whole number (9,000), and you get a decimal. In this case, 3850:9000 = about. 427777778. Depending on which place you are rounding to is how you round it. in percentages, when dividing numbers, these decimals - like above ^ - are out of 1. So, we move the decimal two places to the right.

If you are rounding to the nearest whole, you would put 43%. If you are rounding to the nearest tenth, you would put 42.8%. Hundredth? You would put 42.78%. And so on and so forth. I hope this makes sense.
