Answer 1

Googled this snippet and it looks pretty awesome and compact:

// Animate the element's value from 0% to 110%:
jQuery({someValue: 0}).animate({someValue: 110}, {
    duration: 1000,
    easing:'swing', // can be anything
    step: function() { // called on every step
        // Update the element's text with rounded-up value:
        $('#el').text(Math.ceil(this.someValue) + "%");
    }
});
