What is 29 percent of 1240?
Answer: 359.6
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 29 percent of 1240 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 29% of 1240
29% can also be written as 29/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 29/100 × 1240
Or, X = 0.29 × 1240
So, X = 359.6
So, 29% of 1240 is 359.6

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 29
RHS = 359.6/1240 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.29 × 100
So, RHS = 29
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
