What is 1.44% of 1600?

We need to find 1.44% of 1600.

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

So 1.44% means 1.44 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

1.44 ÷ 100 = 0.0144

This means 1.44% = 0.0144

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0144 × 1600 = 23.04

So 1.44% of 1600 = 23.04

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1.44% of 1600 = (1.44/100) × 1600

= (1.44 × 1600) / 100

= 2304 / 100

= 23.04
