What is 18 percent of 538?
Answer: 96.84
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 18 percent of 538 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 18% of 538
18% can also be written as 18/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 18/100 × 538
Or, X = 0.18 × 538
So, X = 96.84
So, 18% of 538 is 96.84
(You may also first multiply 18 with 538, 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) = 18
RHS = 96.84/538 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.18 × 100
So, RHS = 18
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
