What is 21 percent of 520?
Answer: 109.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 21 percent of 520 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 21% of 520
21% can also be written as 21/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 21/100 × 520
Or, X = 0.21 × 520
So, X = 109.2
So, 21% of 520 is 109.2
(You may also first multiply 21 with 520, 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) = 21
RHS = 109.2/520 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.21 × 100
So, RHS = 21
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
