What is 5 percent of 928?
Answer: 46.4
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 5 percent of 928 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 5% of 928
5% can also be written as 5/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 5/100 × 928
Or, X = 0.05 × 928
So, X = 46.4
So, 5% of 928 is 46.4
(You may also first multiply 5 with 928, 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 = 46.4/928 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.05 × 100
So, RHS = 5
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
