What is 10 percent of 710?
Answer: 71
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 10 percent of 710 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 10% of 710
10% can also be written as 10/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 10/100 × 710
Or, X = 0.1 × 710
So, X = 71
So, 10% of 710 is 71
(You may also first multiply 10 with 710, 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 = 71/710 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.1 × 100
So, RHS = 10
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
