What is 5.81% of 1600?

We need to find 5.81% of 1600.

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

So 5.81% means 5.81 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

5.81 ÷ 100 = 0.0581

This means 5.81% = 0.0581

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0581 × 1600 = 92.96

So 5.81% of 1600 = 92.96

You can also think of it as a fraction:

5.81% of 1600 = (5.81/100) × 1600

= (5.81 × 1600) / 100

= 9296 / 100

= 92.96
