Lets assume 57 percent of 491 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 57% of 491
57% can also be written as 57/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 57/100 × 491
Or, X = 0.57 × 491
So, X = 279.87

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 57
