To calculate 5 percent off of 400, you first convert 5 percent to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives you 0.05. Then, you multiply 0.05 by 400 to find the discount amount. 0.05 x 400 = 20. Therefore, 5 percent off of 400 is 20.

Well, 5% is the equivalent to .05, or 5 out of a hundred. So see how many hundreds are in 400 (400/100)...there are 4 hundreds in 400. Then multiply 4 times 5. Then subtract that number from 400 (because you asked how much is 5% OFF). Your answer is 380. You could also subtract 5 from 100 and multiply the difference by 400.
