What is 52.5% of 800?

We need to find 52.5% of 800.

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

So 52.5% means 52.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

52.5 ÷ 100 = 0.525

This means 52.5% = 0.525

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.525 × 800 = 420

So 52.5% of 800 = 420

You can also think of it as a fraction:

52.5% of 800 = (52.5/100) × 800

= (52.5 × 800) / 100

= 42000 / 100

= 420
