What is 18% of 400?

We need to find 18% of 400.

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

So 18% means 18 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 18% = 0.18

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.18 × 400 = 72

So 18% of 400 = 72

You can also think of it as a fraction:

18% of 400 = (18/100) × 400

= (18 × 400) / 100

= 7200 / 100
