What is 5.25% of 400?

We need to find 5.25% of 400.

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

So 5.25% means 5.25 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

5.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0525

This means 5.25% = 0.0525

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0525 × 400 = 21

So 5.25% of 400 = 21

You can also think of it as a fraction:

5.25% of 400 = (5.25/100) × 400

= (5.25 × 400) / 100

= 2100 / 100

= 21
