What is 150 percent of 950?

Answer: 1425

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 150 percent of 950 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 150% of 950

150% can also be written as 150/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 150/100 × 950

Or, X = 1.5 × 950

So, X = 1425

So, 150% of 950 is 1425

(You may also first multiply 150 with 950, 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.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 150

RHS = 1425/950 × 100

Or, RHS = 1.5 × 100

So, RHS = 150

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
