What is 98 percent of 997?

Answer: 977.06

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 98 percent of 997 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 98% of 997

98% can also be written as 98/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 98/100 × 997

Or, X = 0.98 × 997

So, X = 977.06

So, 98% of 997 is 977.06

(You may also first multiply 98 with 997, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 98

RHS = 977.06/997 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.98 × 100

So, RHS = 98

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
