We need to find 6.88% of 8000.

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

So 6.88% means 6.88 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

6.88 ÷ 100 = 0.0688

This means 6.88% = 0.0688

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0688 × 8000 = 550.4

So 6.88% of 8000 = 550.4

You can also think of it as a fraction:

6.88% of 8000 = (6.88/100) × 8000

= (6.88 × 8000) / 100

= 55040 / 100
