What is 8 percent of 658?
Answer: 52.64
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 8 percent of 658 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 8% of 658
8% can also be written as 8/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 8/100 × 658
Or, X = 0.08 × 658
So, X = 52.64
So, 8% of 658 is 52.64
(You may also first multiply 8 with 658, 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 = 52.64/658 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.08 × 100
So, RHS = 8
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
