What is 99.5% of 800?

We need to find 99.5% of 800.

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

So 99.5% means 99.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

99.5 ÷ 100 = 0.995

This means 99.5% = 0.995

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.995 × 800 = 796

So 99.5% of 800 = 796

You can also think of it as a fraction:

99.5% of 800 = (99.5/100) × 800

= (99.5 × 800) / 100

= 79600 / 100

= 796
