What is 12 percent of 1158?
Answer: 138.96
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 12 percent of 1158 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 12% of 1158
12% can also be written as 12/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 12/100 × 1158
Or, X = 0.12 × 1158
So, X = 138.96

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 12
RHS = 138.96/1158 × 100
