What is 290% of 500?

We need to find 290% of 500.

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

So 290% means 290 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 290% = 2.9

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

2.9 × 500 = 1450

So 290% of 500 = 1450

You can also think of it as a fraction:

290% of 500 = (290/100) × 500

= (290 × 500) / 100

= 145000 / 100

= 1450
