What is 80 percent of 1249?
Answer: 999.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 80 percent of 1249 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 80% of 1249
80% can also be written as 80/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 80/100 × 1249
Or, X = 0.8 × 1249
So, X = 999.2

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 80
