What is 12.5% of 200?

We need to find 12.5% of 200.

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

So 12.5% means 12.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

12.5 ÷ 100 = 0.125

This means 12.5% = 0.125

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.125 × 200 = 25

So 12.5% of 200 = 25

You can also think of it as a fraction:

12.5% of 200 = (12.5/100) × 200

= (12.5 × 200) / 100

= 2500 / 100

= 25
