What is 43.5% of 400?

We need to find 43.5% of 400.

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

So 43.5% means 43.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

43.5 ÷ 100 = 0.435

This means 43.5% = 0.435

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.435 × 400 = 174

So 43.5% of 400 = 174

You can also think of it as a fraction:

43.5% of 400 = (43.5/100) × 400

= (43.5 × 400) / 100

= 17400 / 100

= 174
