What is 75 percent of 462?
Answer: 346.5
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 75 percent of 462 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 75% of 462
75% can also be written as 75/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 75/100 × 462
Or, X = 0.75 × 462
So, X = 346.5
So, 75% of 462 is 346.5
(You may also first multiply 75 with 462, 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) = 75
RHS = 346.5/462 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.75 × 100
So, RHS = 75
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
