What is eighty percent of two thousand?

Answer 1

The easy way to multiply a percent is to convert it to a decimal. Remember to go from percent to decimal we move the decimal point two places to the left.

80% is .80 - Now take .80 and multiply it by 2000.

2000

x .80

====

00000

160000

======

160000

Now remember their is two decimal places so we need to move the decimals back in 160000.

160000.

16000.0

1600.00 <- Two decimal places.

So your final answer is: 80% of 2000 is 1600.00
