What Percent is 500 of 4000?

We need to find what percentage 500 is of 4000.

Part (the amount we have): 500

Whole (the total): 4000

We're asking: "500 out of 4000 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:

0.125 × 100 = 12.5%

500 is 12.5% of 4000.

This means if you had 4000 items and took 500 of them,

you would have 12.5% of the total.
