Lets assume 51 percent of 959 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 51% of 959
51% can also be written as 51/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 51/100 × 959
Or, X = 0.51 × 959
So, X = 489.09

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 51
