What is 15 percent of 979?

Answer: 146.85

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 15 percent of 979 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 15% of 979

15% can also be written as 15/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 15/100 × 979

Or, X = 0.15 × 979

So, X = 146.85

So, 15% of 979 is 146.85

(You may also first multiply 15 with 979, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 15

RHS = 146.85/979 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.15 × 100

So, RHS = 15

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
