What is 9 percent of 587?
Answer: 52.83
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 9 percent of 587 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 9% of 587
9% can also be written as 9/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 9/100 × 587
Or, X = 0.09 × 587
So, X = 52.83
So, 9% of 587 is 52.83
(You may also first multiply 9 with 587, 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.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 9
RHS = 52.83/587 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.09 × 100
So, RHS = 9
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
