What is 48 percent of 496?
Answer: 238.08
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 48 percent of 496 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 48% of 496
48% can also be written as 48/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 48/100 × 496
Or, X = 0.48 × 496
So, X = 238.08
So, 48% of 496 is 238.08
(You may also first multiply 48 with 496, 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) = 48
RHS = 238.08/496 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.48 × 100
So, RHS = 48
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
