What is 10 percent of 1182?
Answer: 118.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 10 percent of 1182 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 10% of 1182
10% can also be written as 10/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 10/100 × 1182
Or, X = 0.1 × 1182
So, X = 118.2
So, 10% of 1182 is 118.2

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 = 118.2/1182 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.1 × 100
So, RHS = 10
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
