Correct answer: A

To solve for the value of x in the equation "1/2 of 3842 + 15% of x = 2449", we can break it down into simple arithmetic steps.

Step-by-Step Solution
Translate the equation: The problem can be written as:
(1/2 * 3842) + (0.15 * x) = 2449

Calculate 1/2 of 3842:
3842 / 2 = 1921

Update the equation:
1921 + 0.15x = 2449

Isolate the term with x:
Subtract 1921 from both sides:
0.15x = 2449 - 1921
0.15x = 528

Solve for x:
Divide 528 by 0.15:
x = 528 / 0.15
x = 3520
