so if we take 1.19 to be the 100%, what is 4.98% of that then?
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1.19&100\\
a&4.98
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1.19}{a}=\cfrac{100}{4.98}\implies \cfrac{1.19\cdot 4.98}{100}=a[/tex]
that much. close to 6 pennies.
