What is 55 percent of 494?
Answer: 271.7
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 55 percent of 494 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 55% of 494
55% can also be written as 55/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 55/100 × 494
Or, X = 0.55 × 494
So, X = 271.7

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 55
