How do you figure out what 2.5% of something is?

Question

So like what is 2.5 % of 1000?

Answer 1

Convert the percent to decimal form....  2.5% = 0.025

Multiply 0.025 by whatever you want to find 2.5% of...  0.025 x 1000 = 25

Answer 2

= 2.5%(1,000)

= 0.025(1,000)

= 25

Answer: 25 is 2.5% of 1,000

Answer 3

when you want to figure out % of something, just change the percentage into a decimal and multiply.

you change the number into decimal by moving the decimal point 2 place to the LEFT...    so 2.5% is equal to 0.025

and 2.5% of 1000    is    0.025 x 1000

good luck

Answer 4

A percentage means a proportion out of 100.

For example 2.5% of 30 is 2.5/100 x 30

2.5% of 50 is caluculated by 2.5/100 x 50

Therefore the question you asked, 2.5% of 1000 is calculated as follows

2.5/100 x 1000 = 25

I hope you can see the pattern here and use this principle for any percentage calculation.

Answer 5

To know the 2.5% just multiply the number you want by 0.025

Example, the 2.5% of 1000 is 1000*0.025 = 25

Answer 6

.02=2%

.025=2.5%   .025x1000=25

Answer 7

1000 x 2.5%

= 1000 x 2.5/100

= 2500/100

= 25
