how to solve what's is 12% of 120

Sagot :

A percent is just the number over 100 which you must multiply by the number given i.e.

12/100 x 120

0.12 x 120 = 14.4
Start by working out what 10% is. 10% of 120 is worked out by dividing 120 by 10 which is 12. 
Then work out 1%. Divide 120 by 100 because % means out of 100. You get 1.2.
Work out 2%. Times 1% (1.2) by 2 to get 2%. You get 2.4.
Work out 12%. Add 10% (12) of 120 and 2% of 120 (2.4) to get 14.4.
Your answer is 14.4
I hope I helped. :P
