What is 24 percent of 1078?
Answer: 258.72
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 24 percent of 1078 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 24% of 1078
24% can also be written as 24/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 24/100 × 1078
Or, X = 0.24 × 1078
So, X = 258.72
So, 24% of 1078 is 258.72
(You may also first multiply 24 with 1078, 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.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 24
RHS = 258.72/1078 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.24 × 100
So, RHS = 24
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
