Answer:

C. 4,900 = m times 5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total books = 5,000

Fiction = 4,900

Calculations:

[tex]5,000. \frac{x}{100} =4,900[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{100} = \frac{4,900}{5,000}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{100} =0.98[/tex]

[tex]x=98[/tex]

Now that we know x we can come up with the equation and can determine which one is correct. x = m = 98%

Therefore, 4,900 is 98% of 5,000.

So 5,000 x 98% = 4,900

And the equation that matches that is C.
