What is 31 percent of 789?
Answer: 244.59
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 31 percent of 789 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 31% of 789
31% can also be written as 31/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 31/100 × 789
Or, X = 0.31 × 789
So, X = 244.59
So, 31% of 789 is 244.59
(You may also first multiply 31 with 789, 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) = 31
RHS = 244.59/789 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.31 × 100
So, RHS = 31
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
