We already have our first value 120 and the second value 72. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

Y =
(72)/(120)

By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100 we will get:

Y =
(72)/(120) ×
(100)/(100) =
(60)/(100)

Therefore, we get y = 60

You can also find percent of 120 is 72, just by entering 72 ÷ 120 × 100 and you will get your answer which is 60.

Hop you found this helpful!

THANK YOU!!
