Answer:
percentage = (part/whole) x 100%
where "part" is the value we are trying to express as a percentage of "whole". In this case, "part" is 3984 and "whole" is 24.9.
So we can substitute these values into the formula:
percentage = (3984/24.9) x 100%
percentage = 159.838% (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, 3984 is approximately 159.838% of 24.9.
