What is 5.38% of 800?

We need to find 5.38% of 800.

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

So 5.38% means 5.38 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

5.38 ÷ 100 = 0.0538

This means 5.38% = 0.0538

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0538 × 800 = 43.04

So 5.38% of 800 = 43.04

You can also think of it as a fraction:

5.38% of 800 = (5.38/100) × 800

= (5.38 × 800) / 100

= 4304 / 100

= 43.04
