What is 87 percent of 1089?
Answer: 947.43
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 87 percent of 1089 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 87% of 1089
87% can also be written as 87/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 87/100 × 1089
Or, X = 0.87 × 1089
So, X = 947.43
So, 87% of 1089 is 947.43
(You may also first multiply 87 with 1089, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 87
RHS = 947.43/1089 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.87 × 100
So, RHS = 87
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
