What is 142 percent of 520?
Answer: 738.4
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 142 percent of 520 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 142% of 520
142% can also be written as 142/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 142/100 × 520
Or, X = 1.42 × 520
So, X = 738.4
So, 142% of 520 is 738.4

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 142
