What is 3.25% of 400?

We need to find 3.25% of 400.

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

So 3.25% means 3.25 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

3.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0325

This means 3.25% = 0.0325

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0325 × 400 = 13

So 3.25% of 400 = 13

You can also think of it as a fraction:

3.25% of 400 = (3.25/100) × 400

= (3.25 × 400) / 100

= 1300 / 100

= 13
