What is 32.5% of 1600?

We need to find 32.5% of 1600.

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

So 32.5% means 32.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

32.5 ÷ 100 = 0.325

This means 32.5% = 0.325

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.325 × 1600 = 520

So 32.5% of 1600 = 520

You can also think of it as a fraction:

32.5% of 1600 = (32.5/100) × 1600

= (32.5 × 1600) / 100

= 52000 / 100

= 520
