What is 82.5% of 1000?

We need to find 82.5% of 1000.

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

So 82.5% means 82.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

82.5 ÷ 100 = 0.825

This means 82.5% = 0.825

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.825 × 1000 = 825

So 82.5% of 1000 = 825

You can also think of it as a fraction:

82.5% of 1000 = (82.5/100) × 1000

= (82.5 × 1000) / 100

= 82500 / 100
