Question

what percent of 90 is 120​

Answer 1

Answer:

133.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 90 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that  100%=90.

Step 4: In the same vein, x0/0 =120.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=90(1).

x0/0=120(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS  (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x0/0 = 90/120

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% / 100% = 120/90

x = 133.33%

Therefore, 120 is 133.33% of 90.
