What Percent is 550 of 1000?

We need to find what percentage 550 is of 1000.

Part (the amount we have): 550

Whole (the total): 1000

We're asking: "550 out of 1000 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:

0.55 × 100 = 55%

550 is 55% of 1000.

This means if you had 1000 items and took 550 of them,

you would have 55% of the total.
