What is 72.5% of 200?

We need to find 72.5% of 200.

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 × 200 = 145

So 72.5% of 200 = 145

You can also think of it as a fraction:

72.5% of 200 = (72.5/100) × 200

= (72.5 × 200) / 100

= 14500 / 100

= 145
