四千八百万美元
In English and in Chinese a period is a decimal point. 4840 万 is 四千八百万。
What I cannot understand is: Why are there so many zeroes (0s) after the decimal point?

I take my answer back because I made a mistake and wrote the answer in Chinese.

US$4,840万, then 48,400,000 (四千八百四十万)
all those zeros after the dot drove me crazy!
Thanks again!
