What is 60 percent of 494?
Answer: 296.4
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 60 percent of 494 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 60% of 494
60% can also be written as 60/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 60/100 × 494
Or, X = 0.6 × 494
So, X = 296.4
So, 60% of 494 is 296.4
(You may also first multiply 60 with 494, 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) = 60
RHS = 296.4/494 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.6 × 100
So, RHS = 60
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
