What is 9% of 800?

We need to find 9% of 800.

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

So 9% means 9 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 9% = 0.09

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.09 × 800 = 72

So 9% of 800 = 72

You can also think of it as a fraction:

9% of 800 = (9/100) × 800

= (9 × 800) / 100

= 7200 / 100

= 72
