What is 27 percent of 850?

Answer: 229.5

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

Lets assume 27 percent of 850 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 27% of 850

27% can also be written as 27/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 27/100 × 850

Or, X = 0.27 × 850

So, X = 229.5

So, 27% of 850 is 229.5

(You may also first multiply 27 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) = 27

RHS = 229.5/850 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.27 × 100

So, RHS = 27

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