    Sum of all item level.
    Divide by 13.

    For jobs with no off-hand, multiply main hand item level by 2.

    In your example:

    100 - Main Hand (200 item levels)
    100 - Head
    110 - Body
    100 - Hands
    100 - Waist
    120 - Legs
    100 - Feet
    100 - Neckless
    100 - Earrings
    100 - Bracelet
    100 - Ring
    120 - Ring

    = ( 200 + 100 + 110 + 100 + 100 + 120 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 120 ) / 13
    = 1350 / 13
    = 103.846153~

    Value is floored (everything is ignored after the decimal) by the game, so you need 1352 total item levels for it to read as 104.

    In other words, the majority of the time you go up "10" item level on a piece of gear, you should gain 1 average item level (10 out of 13 times). Two-handed weapons, of course, are worth 20 points, so will always gain 1 levels, with a decent chance of giving 2.
