What Percent is 72 of 800?

We need to find what percentage 72 is of 800.

Part (the amount we have): 72

Whole (the total): 800

We're asking: "72 out of 800 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:

0.09 × 100 = 9%

72 is 9% of 800.

This means if you had 800 items and took 72 of them,

you would have 9% of the total.
