We need to find 8.63% of 1600.

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

So 8.63% means 8.63 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

8.63 ÷ 100 = 0.0863

This means 8.63% = 0.0863

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0863 × 1600 = 138.08

So 8.63% of 1600 = 138.08

You can also think of it as a fraction:

8.63% of 1600 = (8.63/100) × 1600
