How Many Electrons

[Magna1]

THe question is.
How many electrons must be transferred to a body to give it a negative charge of 4.00nC.????/
So going with what I think 4*10^-9/1.602189...*10^-19=
=25*10^9.
BUT the answer in my book. is 390*10^-9.
What am I missing. Is this negative thing screwing me up or is the answer in my book wrong?
I Can't find anywhere in my book that helps.

Your method and answer seem correct. The book's answer is silly. [:)]

OFten what happens: a book will change their problems slightly when a new edition is made, but sometimes they forget to change the selected answers in the back.
