What is 42 percent of 712?
Answer: 299.04
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 42 percent of 712 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 42% of 712
42% can also be written as 42/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 42/100 × 712
Or, X = 0.42 × 712
So, X = 299.04
So, 42% of 712 is 299.04
(You may also first multiply 42 with 712, 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 = 299.04/712 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.42 × 100
So, RHS = 42
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
