To find the percentage of 280 out of 500, you can use the formula:
Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
In this case, the part is 280 and the whole is 500. So we plug the values into the formula:
Percentage = (280 / 500) × 100
First, divide 280 by 500, which equals 0.56. Then, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
0.56 × 100 = 56%
Therefore, 280 is 56% of 500. This means that if you consider the whole amount of 500, 280 represents more than half of it.
