What is 74.5% of 400?

We need to find 74.5% of 400.

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

So 74.5% means 74.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

74.5 ÷ 100 = 0.745

This means 74.5% = 0.745

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.745 × 400 = 298

So 74.5% of 400 = 298

You can also think of it as a fraction:

74.5% of 400 = (74.5/100) × 400

= (74.5 × 400) / 100

= 29800 / 100

= 298
