What is 2% of 800?

We need to find 2% of 800.

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

So 2% means 2 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 2% = 0.02

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.02 × 800 = 16

So 2% of 800 = 16

You can also think of it as a fraction:

2% of 800 = (2/100) × 800

= (2 × 800) / 100

= 1600 / 100

= 16
