What is 8.31% of 1600?

We need to find 8.31% of 1600.

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

So 8.31% means 8.31 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

8.31 ÷ 100 = 0.0831

This means 8.31% = 0.0831

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0831 × 1600 = 132.96

So 8.31% of 1600 = 132.96

You can also think of it as a fraction:

8.31% of 1600 = (8.31/100) × 1600

= (8.31 × 1600) / 100

= 13296 / 100

= 132.96
