What is 90 percent of 472?
Answer: 424.8
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 90 percent of 472 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 90% of 472
90% can also be written as 90/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 90/100 × 472
Or, X = 0.9 × 472
So, X = 424.8
So, 90% of 472 is 424.8
(You may also first multiply 90 with 472, 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) = 90
RHS = 424.8/472 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.9 × 100
So, RHS = 90
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
