What is 24 percent of 540?
Answer: 129.6
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 24 percent of 540 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 24% of 540
24% can also be written as 24/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 24/100 × 540
Or, X = 0.24 × 540
So, X = 129.6
So, 24% of 540 is 129.6
(You may also first multiply 24 with 540, 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) = 24
RHS = 129.6/540 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.24 × 100
So, RHS = 24
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
