What is 5.75% of 400?

We need to find 5.75% of 400.

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

So 5.75% means 5.75 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

5.75 ÷ 100 = 0.0575

This means 5.75% = 0.0575

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0575 × 400 = 23

So 5.75% of 400 = 23

You can also think of it as a fraction:

5.75% of 400 = (5.75/100) × 400

= (5.75 × 400) / 100

= 2300 / 100

= 23
