What is 242 percent of 1000?
Answer: 2420
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 242 percent of 1000 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 242% of 1000
242% can also be written as 242/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 242/100 × 1000
Or, X = 2.42 × 1000
So, X = 2420
So, 242% of 1000 is 2420
(You may also first multiply 242 with 1000, 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) = 242
RHS = 2420/1000 × 100
Or, RHS = 2.42 × 100
So, RHS = 242
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
