What is 160% of 500?

We need to find 160% of 500.

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

So 160% means 160 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 160% = 1.6

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.6 × 500 = 800

So 160% of 500 = 800

You can also think of it as a fraction:

160% of 500 = (160/100) × 500

= (160 × 500) / 100

= 80000 / 100

= 800
