Percentage of a number.

Let's take an example..

What is 60℅ of 120 ?

we can do this by two methods.

____________________________

In method 1 we change the percentage to fraction, and simplify further.

We write it as –

60℅ = 60/100 .

so 60℅ of 120 = 60/100 × 120

on simplifying we get 72.

Thus, we get the answer as 60℅ of 120 = 72.

_____________________

In method 2, we change ℅ to decimal and then simplify.

We write it as –

60℅ = 0.60 = 0.6

Therefore, 60℅ of 120 = 0.6×120 = 72

so, 60℅ of 120 = 72
