You need to start off thinking of what 60% means.

A percent is a ratio (fraction) of a given number divided by 100. Drawn as a fraction, it looks like this:

60

60% = ----- 100

Now, a bit of Junior High Algebra, and we can now write it as an

equation and solve for X.

60

---- x 120 = X

100

When we multiply fractions by whole numbers t is the equivalent of 60 120

---- x ---- = X

100 1 To multiply two fractions together, you multiply the top and the bottom

separately... 60 120 60 x 120 7200

---- x ---- = --------------- = -------- = X

100 1 100 x 1 100 and, the final step is to simply the fraction and (hope) that it can become a whole number again without any remainder...

__72__r.0

100 | 7200

- 700

200

- 200

Oh, dude, 120% of 60 is like, 72. You know, because you're taking 120% of 60, which is just 60 plus an extra 20% of 60. So, it's like 60 + 12, which equals 72. Math can be fun, right?

To find 120% of 60, you first convert 120% to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives you 1.20. Then, you multiply 1.20 by 60 to get the result. Therefore, 120% of 60 is 72.
