Question

What are two different methods you can use to figure out what 34% of 120 is? (Explain both methods and show your setup of each) Do not solve

Answer 1

the answer would be 40.8. simply u take 34 multiply by 120 the u divide the answer by 100 to 40.8

Answer 2

You can use the proportion
`(is)/(of)` or
`(part)/(whole)` =
`(percent)/(100)`, where you fill in what you know, crossmulitply, and solve for x. You can also write it as an equation, where of=mulitply and is=equal to, and the percent is expressed as a decimal. Your two different equations would be .34x120=x and
`(x)/(120)`=
`(34)/(100)`
