What is 75 percent of 988?

Answer: 741

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

Lets assume 75 percent of 988 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 75% of 988

75% can also be written as 75/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 75/100 × 988

Or, X = 0.75 × 988

So, X = 741

So, 75% of 988 is 741

(You may also first multiply 75 with 988, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 75

RHS = 741/988 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.75 × 100

So, RHS = 75

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