What is 21 percent of 742?

Answer: 155.82

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

Lets assume 21 percent of 742 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 21% of 742

21% can also be written as 21/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 21/100 × 742

Or, X = 0.21 × 742

So, X = 155.82

So, 21% of 742 is 155.82

(You may also first multiply 21 with 742, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 21

RHS = 155.82/742 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.21 × 100

So, RHS = 21

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