What is 8 percent of 865?

Answer: 69.2

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

Lets assume 8 percent of 865 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 8% of 865

8% can also be written as 8/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 8/100 × 865

Or, X = 0.08 × 865

So, X = 69.2

So, 8% of 865 is 69.2

(You may also first multiply 8 with 865, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 8

RHS = 69.2/865 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.08 × 100

So, RHS = 8

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