**Question:**
What is 53% of 527?
---
**Explanation:**
To find 53% of 527, you can use the formula for calculating percentages:
\[ \text{Percentage of a number} = \left( \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{Total Number} \]
In this case:
\[ 53\% \text{ of } 527 = \left( \frac{53}{100} \right) \times 527 \]
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: \( \frac{53}{100} = 0.53 \)
2. Multiply by the given number: \( 0.53 \times 527 = 279.31 \)
Thus, 53% of 527 is 279.31.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1c48d16b-2497-4df1-9fb5-71a450462441%2Fb229b35c-179b-4187-9795-a825e5b4e5d5%2F3acgdwy_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
