What is 2.5% of 32000?

We need to find 2.5% of 32000.

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

So 2.5% means 2.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

2.5 ÷ 100 = 0.025

This means 2.5% = 0.025

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.025 × 32000 = 800

So 2.5% of 32000 = 800

You can also think of it as a fraction:

2.5% of 32000 = (2.5/100) × 32000

= (2.5 × 32000) / 100

= 80000 / 100

= 800
