What is 125% of 400?

We need to find 125% of 400.

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

So 125% means 125 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 125% = 1.25

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.25 × 400 = 500

So 125% of 400 = 500

You can also think of it as a fraction:

125% of 400 = (125/100) × 400

= (125 × 400) / 100

= 50000 / 100
