What is 140% of 500?

We need to find 140% of 500.

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

So 140% means 140 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 140% = 1.4

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.4 × 500 = 700

So 140% of 500 = 700

You can also think of it as a fraction:

140% of 500 = (140/100) × 500

= (140 × 500) / 100

= 70000 / 100

= 700
