What is 115 percent of 842?
Answer: 968.3
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 115 percent of 842 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 115% of 842
115% can also be written as 115/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 115/100 × 842
Or, X = 1.15 × 842
So, X = 968.3
So, 115% of 842 is 968.3

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 115
