What is 24 percent of 552?
Answer: 132.48
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 24 percent of 552 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 24% of 552
24% can also be written as 24/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 24/100 × 552
Or, X = 0.24 × 552
So, X = 132.48
So, 24% of 552 is 132.48
(You may also first multiply 24 with 552, 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 = 132.48/552 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.24 × 100
So, RHS = 24
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
