What is 3.56% of 1600?

We need to find 3.56% of 1600.

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

So 3.56% means 3.56 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

3.56 ÷ 100 = 0.0356

This means 3.56% = 0.0356

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0356 × 1600 = 56.96

So 3.56% of 1600 = 56.96

You can also think of it as a fraction:

3.56% of 1600 = (3.56/100) × 1600

= (3.56 × 1600) / 100

= 5696 / 100

= 56.96
