What is 85 percent of 462?
Answer: 392.7
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 85 percent of 462 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 85% of 462
85% can also be written as 85/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 85/100 × 462
Or, X = 0.85 × 462
So, X = 392.7

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 85
RHS = 392.7/462 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.85 × 100
So, RHS = 85
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
