What is 1% of 1600?

We need to find 1% of 1600.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 1% means 1 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 1% = 0.01

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.01 × 1600 = 16

So 1% of 1600 = 16

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1% of 1600 = (1/100) × 1600
