What is 17 percent of 790?
Answer: 134.3
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 17 percent of 790 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 17% of 790
17% can also be written as 17/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 17/100 × 790
Or, X = 0.17 × 790
So, X = 134.3
So, 17% of 790 is 134.3
(You may also first multiply 17 with 790, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)
% of
=
Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 17
RHS = 134.3/790 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.17 × 100
So, RHS = 17
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
