What is 71 percent of 842?

Answer: 597.82

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 71 percent of 842 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 71% of 842

71% can also be written as 71/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 71/100 × 842

Or, X = 0.71 × 842

So, X = 597.82

So, 71% of 842 is 597.82

(You may also first multiply 71 with 842, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 71

RHS = 597.82/842 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.71 × 100

So, RHS = 71

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
