Answer 8

200 is the whole and 120 is the part.
You want to know what percent the part is of the whole.
The whole is always 100%.
You know this:
whole is 100% and is 200
part is x% and is 120

Set up a proportion:

\(\dfrac{100}{x} = \dfrac{200}{120} \)

Now solve for x by cross multiplying:

\(200x = 100 \times 200\)

\(200x = 12,000\)

\(x = \dfrac{12,000}{200} \)

x = 60

Answer: 60%
