To find the percentage of the total revenue generated by Rocky XII, we use the percentage formula:
$$
\(\text { Percent }=\left(\frac{\text { Part }}{\text { Whole }}\right) \times 100 %\)
$$
1. Identify the values
- Part (Rocky XII revenue): 4.2 million
- Whole (Total revenue): 842.1 million
2. Set up the calculation
$$
\(\text { Percent }=\left(\frac{4.2}{842.1}\right) \times 100 %\)
$$
3. Estimate or Calculate
- Estimation: To get a quick idea, round 842.1 to 840 .
- $1 %$ of 840 is 8.4 .
- Since 4.2 is exactly half of 8.4 , the percentage must be $0.5 %$.
- Exact Calculation:
$$
\(\begin{gathered}
4.2 \div 842.1 \approx 0.0049875 \ldots \\
0.0049875 \ldots \times 100 \approx \mathbf{0 . 4 9 8 7 5 \%}
\end{gathered}\)
$$
Conclusion
The value $0.49875 %$ rounds most closely to $0.5 %$.
Correct Choice: $C 0.5 %$
