What is 142 percent of 1055?
Answer: 1498.1
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 142 percent of 1055 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 142% of 1055
142% can also be written as 142/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 142/100 × 1055
Or, X = 1.42 × 1055
So, X = 1498.1
So, 142% of 1055 is 1498.1
(You may also first multiply 142 with 1055, 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) = 142
RHS = 1498.1/1055 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.42 × 100
So, RHS = 142
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
