I'm pretty sure you need the amount of people in the US at the time and besides I'm almost positive its over 100

Luciano Pace · Answer 2

To write 103.9 as a percent is 103.9% out of 100.

100/x=100/103.9

(100/x) * (100/103.9) * x

100 = 0.96246390760346*x

(0.96246390760346) to get x

100 / 0.96246390760346=x

103.9=x

x = 103.9

103.9% of 100 = 103.9
