What is 87 percent of 522?
Answer: 454.14
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 87 percent of 522 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 87% of 522
87% can also be written as 87/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 87/100 × 522
Or, X = 0.87 × 522
So, X = 454.14

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 87
