Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, first convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \( 184.9\% = \frac{184.9}{100} = 1.849 \).

Step2: Multiply by the number

Now, multiply this decimal by 372. So, \( 1.849 \times 372 \). Let's calculate that: \( 1.849\times372 = 1.849\times(300 + 70 + 2)=1.849\times300+1.849\times70 + 1.849\times2 = 554.7+129.43+3.698 = 687.828 \).

Step3: Round to the nearest tenth

The number 687.828, to round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredth place which is 2. Since 2 < 5, we keep the tenth place as it is. So, 687.828 rounded to the nearest tenth is 687.8.

Answer:

687.8
