Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are finding a percent of something, you need to move the decimal over to the left twice in the percentage. Like this:

20% = .20

Then, just multiply that by the number you are trying to find the percent of.

.20 x 120 = 24

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation: To find 20% of 120, first write 20% as a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left to get <em>.</em>20.

Next, the word "of" means multiply, so we multiply <em>.</em>20 by 120.

(.20) (120) = 24

Therefore, 20% of 120 is 24.
