What is 6 percent of 874?
Answer: 52.44
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 6 percent of 874 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 6% of 874
6% can also be written as 6/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 6/100 × 874
Or, X = 0.06 × 874
So, X = 52.44
So, 6% of 874 is 52.44
(You may also first multiply 6 with 874, 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 = 52.44/874 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.06 × 100
So, RHS = 6
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
