Question

What is$50\%$ of $120$?

Answer 1

Find percentage value.

$a\%$ of $b$is computed as,

$a\%\mathrm{of}b=b\times \frac{a}{100}$

We have to find $50\%$ of $120$.

$$\begin{gathered} 50\%\mathrm{of}120=120\times \frac{50}{100} \\ \Rightarrow =\frac{6000}{100} \\ \Rightarrow =60 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the $50\%$ of $120$ is equal to $60$.
