What is 105 percent of 1050?
Answer: 1102.5
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 105 percent of 1050 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 105% of 1050
105% can also be written as 105/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 105/100 × 1050
Or, X = 1.05 × 1050
So, X = 1102.5
So, 105% of 1050 is 1102.5
(You may also first multiply 105 with 1050, 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) = 105
RHS = 1102.5/1050 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.05 × 100
So, RHS = 105
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
