What is 72.5% of 1600?

We need to find 72.5% of 1600.

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

So 72.5% means 72.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

72.5 ÷ 100 = 0.725

This means 72.5% = 0.725

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.725 × 1600 = 1160

So 72.5% of 1600 = 1160

You can also think of it as a fraction:

72.5% of 1600 = (72.5/100) × 1600

= (72.5 × 1600) / 100

= 116000 / 100

= 1160
