What is 35.5% of 400?

We need to find 35.5% of 400.

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

So 35.5% means 35.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

35.5 ÷ 100 = 0.355

This means 35.5% = 0.355

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.355 × 400 = 142

So 35.5% of 400 = 142

You can also think of it as a fraction:

35.5% of 400 = (35.5/100) × 400

= (35.5 × 400) / 100

= 14200 / 100

= 142
