What is 42 percent of 895?

Answer: 375.9

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 42 percent of 895 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 42% of 895

42% can also be written as 42/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 42/100 × 895

Or, X = 0.42 × 895

So, X = 375.9

So, 42% of 895 is 375.9

(You may also first multiply 42 with 895, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 42

RHS = 375.9/895 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.42 × 100

So, RHS = 42

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
