Question

What percent is 72 of 120???

Answer 1

Well, first you set up a proportion. x/100 = 72/120 (remember is over of) and you cross multiply. 100 x 72= 7200. 120x=7200. Then you divide both sides by 120, and you get 60%

Answer 2

What percent is 72 of 120???

`120*x\% = 72 \\ \\ \\ 120* (x)/(100) = 72 \\ \\ \\ (x)/(100) = (72)/(120) \\ \\ \\ x= (72)/(120) * 100\qquad \to \boxed{x= 60\% }`

60% *120 = 72
0,6 *120 = 72
72 = 72


I wish you much success in your studies!!!!
