What is 255 percent of 1000?
Answer: 2550
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 255 percent of 1000 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 255% of 1000
255% can also be written as 255/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 255/100 × 1000
Or, X = 2.55 × 1000
So, X = 2550
So, 255% of 1000 is 2550
(You may also first multiply 255 with 1000, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)
% of
=
Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 255
RHS = 2550/1000 × 100
Or, RHS = 2.55 × 100
So, RHS = 255
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
