What is 98 percent of 876?
Answer: 858.48
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 98 percent of 876 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 98% of 876
98% can also be written as 98/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 98/100 × 876
Or, X = 0.98 × 876
So, X = 858.48
So, 98% of 876 is 858.48
(You may also first multiply 98 with 876, 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) = 98
RHS = 858.48/876 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.98 × 100
So, RHS = 98
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
