What is 40 percent of 1146?
Answer: 458.4
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 40 percent of 1146 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 40% of 1146
40% can also be written as 40/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 40/100 × 1146
Or, X = 0.4 × 1146
So, X = 458.4

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 40
