What is 2.19% of 1600?

We need to find 2.19% of 1600.

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

So 2.19% means 2.19 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

2.19 ÷ 100 = 0.0219

This means 2.19% = 0.0219

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0219 × 1600 = 35.04

So 2.19% of 1600 = 35.04

You can also think of it as a fraction:

2.19% of 1600 = (2.19/100) × 1600

= (2.19 × 1600) / 100

= 3504 / 100

= 35.04
