What is 10 percent of 980?

Answer: 98

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

Lets assume 10 percent of 980 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 10% of 980

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

So, X = 10/100 × 980

Or, X = 0.1 × 980

So, X = 98

So, 10% of 980 is 98

(You may also first multiply 10 with 980, 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 = 98/980 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.1 × 100

So, RHS = 10

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