What is 40 percent of 1271?
Answer: 508.4
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 40 percent of 1271 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 40% of 1271
40% can also be written as 40/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 40/100 × 1271
Or, X = 0.4 × 1271
So, X = 508.4
So, 40% of 1271 is 508.4
(You may also first multiply 40 with 1271, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 40
RHS = 508.4/1271 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.4 × 100
So, RHS = 40
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
