What is 240% of 800?

We need to find 240% of 800.

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

So 240% means 240 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 240% = 2.4

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

2.4 × 800 = 1920

So 240% of 800 = 1920

You can also think of it as a fraction:

240% of 800 = (240/100) × 800

= (240 × 800) / 100
