What is 98 percent of 979?
Answer: 959.42
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 98 percent of 979 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 98% of 979
98% can also be written as 98/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 98/100 × 979
Or, X = 0.98 × 979
So, X = 959.42
So, 98% of 979 is 959.42
(You may also first multiply 98 with 979, 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 = 959.42/979 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.98 × 100
So, RHS = 98
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
