What is 85 percent of 852?

Answer: 724.2

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

Lets assume 85 percent of 852 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 85% of 852

85% can also be written as 85/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 85/100 × 852

Or, X = 0.85 × 852

So, X = 724.2

So, 85% of 852 is 724.2

(You may also first multiply 85 with 852, 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) = 85

RHS = 724.2/852 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.85 × 100

So, RHS = 85

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