What is 9.5% of 400?

We need to find 9.5% of 400.

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

So 9.5% means 9.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

9.5 ÷ 100 = 0.095

This means 9.5% = 0.095

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.095 × 400 = 38

So 9.5% of 400 = 38

You can also think of it as a fraction:

9.5% of 400 = (9.5/100) × 400

= (9.5 × 400) / 100

= 3800 / 100

= 38
