What is 83 percent of 1072?
Answer: 889.76
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 83 percent of 1072 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 83% of 1072
83% can also be written as 83/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 83/100 × 1072
Or, X = 0.83 × 1072
So, X = 889.76
So, 83% of 1072 is 889.76

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 83
RHS = 889.76/1072 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.83 × 100
So, RHS = 83
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
