What is 138 percent of 1087?
Answer: 1500.06
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 138 percent of 1087 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 138% of 1087
138% can also be written as 138/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 138/100 × 1087
Or, X = 1.38 × 1087
So, X = 1500.06
So, 138% of 1087 is 1500.06
(You may also first multiply 138 with 1087, 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) = 138
RHS = 1500.06/1087 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.38 × 100
So, RHS = 138
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
