What is 96 percent of 720?
Answer: 691.2
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 96 percent of 720 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 96% of 720
96% can also be written as 96/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 96/100 × 720
Or, X = 0.96 × 720
So, X = 691.2
So, 96% of 720 is 691.2
(You may also first multiply 96 with 720, 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) = 96
RHS = 691.2/720 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.96 × 100
So, RHS = 96
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
