Question

Complete the following equation using <, >, or = 120% ___ 1

Answer 1

To solve these types of problems, we need to convert the two values into the same form.  

We know that 1 = 1.00, as adding zeroes to the end of a decimal doesn't change the value.

To change a decimal into a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign.  

1.00 * 100 = 100%

Therefore, 1 = 100%

Because 120% is greater than 100%, thus, 

120% > 1
