What is 10 percent of 1018?
Answer: 101.8
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 10 percent of 1018 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 10% of 1018
10% can also be written as 10/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 10/100 × 1018
Or, X = 0.1 × 1018
So, X = 101.8
So, 10% of 1018 is 101.8
(You may also first multiply 10 with 1018, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)
% of
=
Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 10
RHS = 101.8/1018 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.1 × 100
So, RHS = 10
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
