What is 250% of 16000?

We need to find 250% of 16000.

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

So 250% means 250 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 250% = 2.5

Now multiply the decimal by the number:
