What is 850% of 1000?

We need to find 850% of 1000.

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

So 850% means 850 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 850% = 8.5

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

8.5 × 1000 = 8500

So 850% of 1000 = 8500

You can also think of it as a fraction:

850% of 1000 = (850/100) × 1000

= (850 × 1000) / 100

= 850000 / 100

= 8500
