We need to find 1.72% of 3200.

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

So 1.72% means 1.72 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

1.72 ÷ 100 = 0.0172

This means 1.72% = 0.0172

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0172 × 3200 = 55.04

So 1.72% of 3200 = 55.04

You can also think of it as a fraction:

1.72% of 3200 = (1.72/100) × 3200
