What is 6 percent of 558?
Answer: 33.48
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 6 percent of 558 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 6% of 558
6% can also be written as 6/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 6/100 × 558
Or, X = 0.06 × 558
So, X = 33.48
So, 6% of 558 is 33.48
(You may also first multiply 6 with 558, 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) = 6
RHS = 33.48/558 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.06 × 100
So, RHS = 6
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
