What is 15 percent of 120

Expert Solution
Step 1

18.

When we make percentages, we divide the given quantity into 100 parts and then each of those parts represent 1 percent of the quantity. So simply divide by 100, and then multiply by 15, to get 15%. 

Tip: If you want to do it faster, just multiply by 0.15.  (for eg. If you were asked to find 21% just do    120 x 0.21 = 25.2)
