What is 10 percent of 979?

Answer: 97.9

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 10 percent of 979 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 10% of 979

10% can also be written as 10/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 10/100 × 979

Or, X = 0.1 × 979

So, X = 97.9

So, 10% of 979 is 97.9

(You may also first multiply 10 with 979, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 10

RHS = 97.9/979 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.1 × 100

So, RHS = 10

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
