What is 95 percent of 1342?
Answer: 1274.9
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 95 percent of 1342 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 95% of 1342
95% can also be written as 95/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 95/100 × 1342
Or, X = 0.95 × 1342
So, X = 1274.9
So, 95% of 1342 is 1274.9
(You may also first multiply 95 with 1342, 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) = 95
RHS = 1274.9/1342 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.95 × 100
So, RHS = 95
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
