What is 1.25% of 800?

We need to find 1.25% of 800.

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

So 1.25% means 1.25 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

1.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0125

This means 1.25% = 0.0125

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0125 × 800 = 10

So 1.25% of 800 = 10

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1.25% of 800 = (1.25/100) × 800

= (1.25 × 800) / 100

= 1000 / 100

= 10
