What is 42 percent of 618?
Answer: 259.56
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 42 percent of 618 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 42% of 618
42% can also be written as 42/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 42/100 × 618
Or, X = 0.42 × 618
So, X = 259.56
So, 42% of 618 is 259.56
(You may also first multiply 42 with 618, 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) = 42
RHS = 259.56/618 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.42 × 100
So, RHS = 42
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
