What is 1.25% of 8000?

We need to find 1.25% of 8000.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 1.25% means 1.25 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

1.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0125

This means 1.25% = 0.0125

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0125 × 8000 = 100

So 1.25% of 8000 = 100

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1.25% of 8000 = (1.25/100) × 8000

= (1.25 × 8000) / 100

= 10000 / 100

= 100
