What Percent is 172 of 400?

We need to find what percentage 172 is of 400.

Part (the amount we have): 172

Whole (the total): 400

We're asking: "172 out of 400 is how many percent?"

To find what percent one number is of another, we use:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

This gives us the part as a fraction of the whole, then converts to a percentage.

Step 1: Divide the part by the whole:

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

0.43 × 100 = 43%

172 is 43% of 400.

This means if you had 400 items and took 172 of them,

you would have 43% of the total.
