What is 28.5% of 1600?

We need to find 28.5% of 1600.

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

So 28.5% means 28.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

28.5 ÷ 100 = 0.285

This means 28.5% = 0.285

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.285 × 1600 = 456

So 28.5% of 1600 = 456

You can also think of it as a fraction:

28.5% of 1600 = (28.5/100) × 1600

= (28.5 × 1600) / 100

= 45600 / 100

= 456
