What is 27.5% of 4000?

We need to find 27.5% of 4000.

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

So 27.5% means 27.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

27.5 ÷ 100 = 0.275

This means 27.5% = 0.275

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.275 × 4000 = 1100

So 27.5% of 4000 = 1100

You can also think of it as a fraction:

27.5% of 4000 = (27.5/100) × 4000

= (27.5 × 4000) / 100

= 110000 / 100

= 1100
