Lets assume 84 percent of 557 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 84% of 557
84% can also be written as 84/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 84/100 × 557
Or, X = 0.84 × 557
So, X = 467.88

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 84
