Answer:

£54

Explanation:

Write 45% as

45

100

Since finding the fraction of a number is the same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

45

100

of 120 =

45

100

× 120

Therefore, the answer is 54

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 45÷100×120 which will give you 54 as the answer.
