To solve this, we first need to turn the percent into a decimal, otherwise we would get a weird answer.

62.5% written as a decimal would be 0.625. You basically just move the decimal over two places to the left and take away the percent sign.

Now we have:

$${\mathtt{800\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.625}}$$

Multiply it out

$${\mathtt{800\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.625}} = {\mathtt{500\,000}}$$

So our answer is 500,000.
