Steps to find the percentage of a number

Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 20% of 1.2 using proportion.

20% is 20 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 20 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 1.2.

\[ \frac{ 20 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 1.2 } \]

Cross-multiply: 20 × 1.2 = 100x

\[ 20 \cdot 1.2 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (20 × 1.2) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 24 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 20% of 1.2 is 0.24.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 20% to decimal: 0.2

\[ x = 1.2 \cdot 0.2 \]

So, 20% of 1.2 is 0.24.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 20% to decimal: 0.2

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

1.2 × 0.2 = 0.24

Thus, 20% of 1.2 is 0.24.
