What is 72 percent of 478?
Answer: 344.16
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 72 percent of 478 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 72% of 478
72% can also be written as 72/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 72/100 × 478
Or, X = 0.72 × 478
So, X = 344.16
So, 72% of 478 is 344.16
(You may also first multiply 72 with 478, 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) = 72
RHS = 344.16/478 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.72 × 100
So, RHS = 72
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
