What is 14.5% of 800?

We need to find 14.5% of 800.

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 × 800 = 116

So 14.5% of 800 = 116

You can also think of it as a fraction:

14.5% of 800 = (14.5/100) × 800

= (14.5 × 800) / 100

= 11600 / 100

= 116
