What is 5% of 4000?

We need to find 5% of 4000.

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

So 5% means 5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 5% = 0.05

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.05 × 4000 = 200

So 5% of 4000 = 200

You can also think of it as a fraction:

5% of 4000 = (5/100) × 4000

= (5 × 4000) / 100

= 20000 / 100

= 200
