What is 14.5% of 400?

We need to find 14.5% of 400.

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

So 14.5% means 14.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

14.5 ÷ 100 = 0.145

This means 14.5% = 0.145

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.145 × 400 = 58

So 14.5% of 400 = 58

You can also think of it as a fraction:

14.5% of 400 = (14.5/100) × 400

= (14.5 × 400) / 100

= 5800 / 100

= 58
