What is 18 percent of 959?
Answer: 172.62
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 18 percent of 959 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 18% of 959
18% can also be written as 18/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 18/100 × 959
Or, X = 0.18 × 959
So, X = 172.62
So, 18% of 959 is 172.62

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 = 172.62/959 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.18 × 100
So, RHS = 18
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
