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)
