What is 3.06% of 1600?

We need to find 3.06% of 1600.

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

So 3.06% means 3.06 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

3.06 ÷ 100 = 0.0306

This means 3.06% = 0.0306

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0306 × 1600 = 48.96

So 3.06% of 1600 = 48.96

You can also think of it as a fraction:

3.06% of 1600 = (3.06/100) × 1600

= (3.06 × 1600) / 100

= 4896 / 100

= 48.96
