What is 97 percent of 120?

Answer: 116.4

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 97 percent of 120 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 97% of 120

97% can also be written as 97/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 97/100 × 120

Or, X = 0.97 × 120

So, X = 116.4

So, 97% of 120 is 116.4

(You may also first multiply 97 with 120, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

% of

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 97

RHS = 116.4/120 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.97 × 100

So, RHS = 97

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
