What is 5 percent of 549?
Answer: 27.45
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 5 percent of 549 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 5% of 549
5% can also be written as 5/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 5/100 × 549
Or, X = 0.05 × 549
So, X = 27.45
So, 5% of 549 is 27.45
(You may also first multiply 5 with 549, 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) = 5
RHS = 27.45/549 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.05 × 100
So, RHS = 5
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
