What is 62 percent of 491?
Answer: 304.42
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 62 percent of 491 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 62% of 491
62% can also be written as 62/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 62/100 × 491
Or, X = 0.62 × 491
So, X = 304.42

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 62
