What is 118 percent of 488?
Answer: 575.84
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 118 percent of 488 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 118% of 488
118% can also be written as 118/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 118/100 × 488
Or, X = 1.18 × 488
So, X = 575.84
So, 118% of 488 is 575.84
(You may also first multiply 118 with 488, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 118
RHS = 575.84/488 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.18 × 100
So, RHS = 118
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
