Lets assume 97 percent of 1242 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 97% of 1242
97% can also be written as 97/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 97/100 × 1242
Or, X = 0.97 × 1242
So, X = 1204.74

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 97
RHS = 1204.74/1242 × 100
