What is 150% of 16000?

We need to find 150% of 16000.

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

So 150% means 150 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 150% = 1.5

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.5 × 16000 = 24000

So 150% of 16000 = 24000

You can also think of it as a fraction:

150% of 16000 = (150/100) × 16000
