Lets assume 87 percent of 1235 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 87% of 1235
87% can also be written as 87/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 87/100 × 1235

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 = 1074.45/1235 × 100
