Answer:
350
Explanation:
Introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100
120% = 120/100 = 120 ÷ 100 = 1.2
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
Percentage of 120% of what number = 420?
120% × ? = 420
? =
420 ÷ 120% =
420 ÷ (120 ÷ 100) =
(100 × 420) ÷ 120 =
42,000 ÷ 120 =
350
Proof
How do we check the result?
If 120% × 350 = 420 =>
Divide 420 by 350...
... And see if we get as a result: 120%
Note:
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
n/100 = n%, any number.
