What is 95 percent of 480?
Answer: 456
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 95 percent of 480 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 95% of 480
95% can also be written as 95/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 95/100 × 480
Or, X = 0.95 × 480
So, X = 456
So, 95% of 480 is 456
(You may also first multiply 95 with 480, 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) = 95
RHS = 456/480 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.95 × 100
So, RHS = 95
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
