What is 240 percent of 850?

Answer: 2040

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

Lets assume 240 percent of 850 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 240% of 850

240% can also be written as 240/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 240/100 × 850

Or, X = 2.4 × 850

So, X = 2040

So, 240% of 850 is 2040

(You may also first multiply 240 with 850, 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) = 240

RHS = 2040/850 × 100

Or, RHS = 2.4 × 100

So, RHS = 240

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