What is 102 percent of 540?
Answer: 550.8
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 102 percent of 540 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 102% of 540
102% can also be written as 102/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 102/100 × 540
Or, X = 1.02 × 540
So, X = 550.8
So, 102% of 540 is 550.8
(You may also first multiply 102 with 540, 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.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 102
RHS = 550.8/540 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.02 × 100
So, RHS = 102
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
