Lets assume 54 percent of 879 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 54% of 879
54% can also be written as 54/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 54/100 × 879
Or, X = 0.54 × 879
So, X = 474.66

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 54
