What is 138 percent of 840?
Answer: 1159.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 138 percent of 840 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 138% of 840
138% can also be written as 138/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 138/100 × 840
Or, X = 1.38 × 840
So, X = 1159.2
So, 138% of 840 is 1159.2
(You may also first multiply 138 with 840, 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 = 1159.2/840 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.38 × 100
So, RHS = 138
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
