What Percent is 72 of 1600?

We need to find what percentage 72 is of 1600.

Part (the amount we have): 72

Whole (the total): 1600

We're asking: "72 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:

0.045 × 100 = 4.5%

72 is 4.5% of 1600.

This means if you had 1600 items and took 72 of them,

you would have 4.5% of the total.
