What is 63 percent of 500?
Answer: 315
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 63 percent of 500 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 63% of 500
63% can also be written as 63/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 63/100 × 500
Or, X = 0.63 × 500
So, X = 315
So, 63% of 500 is 315
(You may also first multiply 63 with 500, 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) = 63
RHS = 315/500 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.63 × 100
So, RHS = 63
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
