What Percent is 40 of 1600?

We need to find what percentage 40 is of 1600.

Part (the amount we have): 40

Whole (the total): 1600

We're asking: "40 out of 1600 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:

0.025 × 100 = 2.5%

40 is 2.5% of 1600.

This means if you had 1600 items and took 40 of them,

you would have 2.5% of the total.
