What is 62.5% of 8000?

We need to find 62.5% of 8000.

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

So 62.5% means 62.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

62.5 ÷ 100 = 0.625

This means 62.5% = 0.625

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.625 × 8000 = 5000

So 62.5% of 8000 = 5000

You can also think of it as a fraction:

62.5% of 8000 = (62.5/100) × 8000

= (62.5 × 8000) / 100

= 500000 / 100

= 5000
