What is 36 percent of 520?
Answer: 187.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 36 percent of 520 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 36% of 520
36% can also be written as 36/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 36/100 × 520
Or, X = 0.36 × 520
So, X = 187.2
So, 36% of 520 is 187.2
(You may also first multiply 36 with 520, 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) = 36
RHS = 187.2/520 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.36 × 100
So, RHS = 36
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
