What is 15.5% of 800?

We need to find 15.5% of 800.

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

So 15.5% means 15.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

15.5 ÷ 100 = 0.155

This means 15.5% = 0.155

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.155 × 800 = 124

So 15.5% of 800 = 124

You can also think of it as a fraction:

15.5% of 800 = (15.5/100) × 800

= (15.5 × 800) / 100

= 12400 / 100

= 124
