What is 99 percent of 740?
Answer: 732.6
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 99 percent of 740 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 99% of 740
99% can also be written as 99/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 99/100 × 740
Or, X = 0.99 × 740
So, X = 732.6
So, 99% of 740 is 732.6
(You may also first multiply 99 with 740, 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) = 99
RHS = 732.6/740 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.99 × 100
So, RHS = 99
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
