107 is correct.
.
For 412 in base 5 there is a quantity of 2 units of 5^0, 1 unit of 5^1, and 4 units of 5^2. These
translate to:
.
5%5E0+%2A2+=+1%2A2+=+2
5%5E1%2A1+=+5%2A1+=+5
5%5E2%2A4+=+25%2A4+=+100
.
and the total of 2 + 5 + 100 = 107
.
Good job ... Hope this helps you to build confidence in your ability to make translations
such as these.
