What is 1.88% of 1600?

We need to find 1.88% of 1600.

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

So 1.88% means 1.88 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

1.88 ÷ 100 = 0.0188

This means 1.88% = 0.0188

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0188 × 1600 = 30.08

So 1.88% of 1600 = 30.08

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1.88% of 1600 = (1.88/100) × 1600

= (1.88 × 1600) / 100

= 3008 / 100

= 30.08
