What is 15.5% of 400?

We need to find 15.5% of 400.

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

So 15.5% means 15.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

15.5 ÷ 100 = 0.155

This means 15.5% = 0.155

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.155 × 400 = 62

So 15.5% of 400 = 62

You can also think of it as a fraction:

15.5% of 400 = (15.5/100) × 400

= (15.5 × 400) / 100

= 6200 / 100

= 62
