Calculate 20% of 125% of 160
To solve this problem, we need to calculate a percentage of a percentage of a number. This involves converting percentages into decimals or fractions and performing multiplication.
Convert Percentages to Decimals
First, convert the given percentages into their decimal forms:
- \(20\% = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20\)
- \(125\% = \frac{125}{100} = 1.25\)
Rewrite the Expression
The phrase "of" in mathematics signifies multiplication. So, the expression "\(20\%\) of \(125\%\) of $160$" can be written as:
\(0.20 \times 1.25 \times 160\)
Perform the Calculation
Calculate the result step-by-step:
- First, multiply $1.25$ by $160$:
\(1.25 \times 160 = 200\)
- Next, multiply the result ($200$) by $0.20$:
\(0.20 \times 200 = 40\)
Thus, \(20\%\) of \(125\%\) of $160$ is $40$.
