What is 8 percent of 889?

Answer: 71.12

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

Lets assume 8 percent of 889 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 8% of 889

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

So, X = 8/100 × 889

Or, X = 0.08 × 889

So, X = 71.12

So, 8% of 889 is 71.12

(You may also first multiply 8 with 889, 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) = 8

RHS = 71.12/889 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.08 × 100

So, RHS = 8

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