Problem

Calculate 4% of 8000

Answer

320

Step-by-step solution

  1. Understand the problem: To calculate a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage by the number. The phrase '4% of 8000' means we need to find $4\%$ of $8000$.
  1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: A percentage is a fraction of 100. Therefore, $4\% = \frac{4}{100} = 0.04$.

3. Perform the multiplication: Now, multiply the decimal by the given number:
$$0.04 \times 8000$$

4. Calculate the final value: We can simplify this by multiplying $4 \times 80 = 320$ (since $0.04 \times 8000 = \frac{4}{100} \times 8000 = 4 \times 80$):
$$4 \times 80 = 320$$
