What is 47 percent of 490?
Answer: 230.3
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 47 percent of 490 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 47% of 490
47% can also be written as 47/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 47/100 × 490
Or, X = 0.47 × 490
So, X = 230.3
So, 47% of 490 is 230.3
(You may also first multiply 47 with 490, 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) = 47
RHS = 230.3/490 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.47 × 100
So, RHS = 47
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
