What is 2.88% of 1600?

We need to find 2.88% of 1600.

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

So 2.88% means 2.88 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

2.88 ÷ 100 = 0.0288

This means 2.88% = 0.0288

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0288 × 1600 = 46.08

So 2.88% of 1600 = 46.08

You can also think of it as a fraction:

2.88% of 1600 = (2.88/100) × 1600

= (2.88 × 1600) / 100

= 4608 / 100

= 46.08
