What is 99 percent of 998?
Answer: 988.02
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 99 percent of 998 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 99% of 998
99% can also be written as 99/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 99/100 × 998
Or, X = 0.99 × 998
So, X = 988.02
So, 99% of 998 is 988.02
(You may also first multiply 99 with 998, 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 = 988.02/998 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.99 × 100
So, RHS = 99
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
