What is 87.5% of 800?

We need to find 87.5% of 800.

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

So 87.5% means 87.5 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

87.5 ÷ 100 = 0.875

This means 87.5% = 0.875

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.875 × 800 = 700

So 87.5% of 800 = 700

You can also think of it as a fraction:

87.5% of 800 = (87.5/100) × 800

= (87.5 × 800) / 100

= 70000 / 100

= 700
