What is 31 percent of 1218?
Answer: 377.58
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 31 percent of 1218 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 31% of 1218
31% can also be written as 31/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 31/100 × 1218
Or, X = 0.31 × 1218
So, X = 377.58
So, 31% of 1218 is 377.58

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 31
RHS = 377.58/1218 × 100
