What is 85 percent of 1002?

Answer: 851.7

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

Lets assume 85 percent of 1002 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 85% of 1002

85% can also be written as 85/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 85/100 × 1002

Or, X = 0.85 × 1002

So, X = 851.7

So, 85% of 1002 is 851.7

(You may also first multiply 85 with 1002, 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) = 85

RHS = 851.7/1002 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.85 × 100

So, RHS = 85

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