What is 6.25% of 1600?

We need to find 6.25% of 1600.

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

So 6.25% means 6.25 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

6.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0625

This means 6.25% = 0.0625

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0625 × 1600 = 100

So 6.25% of 1600 = 100

You can also think of it as a fraction:

6.25% of 1600 = (6.25/100) × 1600

= (6.25 × 1600) / 100

= 10000 / 100
