What is 18.5% of 400?

We need to find 18.5% of 400.

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

So 18.5% means 18.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

18.5 ÷ 100 = 0.185

This means 18.5% = 0.185

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.185 × 400 = 74

So 18.5% of 400 = 74

You can also think of it as a fraction:

18.5% of 400 = (18.5/100) × 400

= (18.5 × 400) / 100

= 7400 / 100

= 74
