Method 1: take the 1st number (30) and put it over the second number (120) so that it's a fraction: 30/120. Then, simplify the resulting fraction. (Here, you can divide both by 30, which would result in 1/4). Then you divide 100 by the second number (here it's 4, because 1/4) and multiply the 1st number (1) by whatever you got. (100/4=25, so 1*25=25) Just add a percent sign at the end, and there you have it! (25%)

Method 2: Divide 30 by 120 and get 0.25. Multiply this by 100 and add a percent sign.
