What is 20 percent of 880?

Answer: 176

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

Lets assume 20 percent of 880 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 20% of 880

20% can also be written as 20/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 20/100 × 880

Or, X = 0.2 × 880

So, X = 176

So, 20% of 880 is 176

(You may also first multiply 20 with 880, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 20

RHS = 176/880 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.2 × 100

So, RHS = 20

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