@0278700km would you like an explanation for that answer?

anonymous · Answer

yes

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

alright :) So 5*20=100

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

if we have $\Large\frac{6}{5}$, then we must multiply both denominator and numerator by 20

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

if we do that, then we have $\Large\frac{120}{100}$

Since this fraction is over 100, and the number over it is 120, we know immediately that the percentage is 120%. While @Seedur was correct, he shouldn't have gave you the answer correctly, as it is against our rules here. 

I hope you have a better understanding of this problem :)

$$\frac{6}{5}=1.2 $$Move the decimal point two places to the right and then append the % sign.

^ this is an especially handy trick to user, especially when your denominator doesn't divide perfectly into 100.

Answer givers are starting to really anger me.

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

$\Large\frac{6}{5}$=1.2 ---> 120.0 --> 120%
