0.008*$4,900=$39.2

Explanation:

So, percents are essentially just a way to simplify the fraction of x/100. So 1% means 1/100 out of something. In this case, 0.8% means 0.8/100, which is equal to 0.008 of 4900.

And, remember that the trigger word "of" means multiplication. Putting it all together

0.008*$4900=$39.2

Hope that helps!
