What is 105 percent of 462?
Answer: 485.1
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 105 percent of 462 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 105% of 462
105% can also be written as 105/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 105/100 × 462
Or, X = 1.05 × 462
So, X = 485.1
So, 105% of 462 is 485.1
(You may also first multiply 105 with 462, 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 = 485.1/462 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.05 × 100
So, RHS = 105
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
