What is 56.5% of 400?

We need to find 56.5% of 400.

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

So 56.5% means 56.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

56.5 ÷ 100 = 0.565

This means 56.5% = 0.565

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.565 × 400 = 226

So 56.5% of 400 = 226

You can also think of it as a fraction:

56.5% of 400 = (56.5/100) × 400

= (56.5 × 400) / 100

= 22600 / 100

= 226
