What is 8 percent of 545?
Answer: 43.6
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 8 percent of 545 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 8% of 545
8% can also be written as 8/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 8/100 × 545
Or, X = 0.08 × 545
So, X = 43.6
So, 8% of 545 is 43.6
(You may also first multiply 8 with 545, 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) = 8
RHS = 43.6/545 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.08 × 100
So, RHS = 8
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
