What is 20.5% of 400?

We need to find 20.5% of 400.

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

So 20.5% means 20.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

20.5 ÷ 100 = 0.205

This means 20.5% = 0.205

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.205 × 400 = 82

So 20.5% of 400 = 82

You can also think of it as a fraction:

20.5% of 400 = (20.5/100) × 400

= (20.5 × 400) / 100

= 8200 / 100

= 82
