What Percent is 170 of 400?

We need to find what percentage 170 is of 400.

Part (the amount we have): 170

Whole (the total): 400

We're asking: "170 out of 400 is how many percent?"

To find what percent one number is of another, we use:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

This gives us the part as a fraction of the whole, then converts to a percentage.

Step 1: Divide the part by the whole:

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

0.425 × 100 = 42.5%

170 is 42.5% of 400.

This means if you had 400 items and took 170 of them,

you would have 42.5% of the total.
