Step-by-step solution

The problem

{70}\% \text{ of } {120}
  1. Change 70% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    70\% = 70 \div 100 = 0.7
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.7} \times 120
  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.7 has 1, so the answer has 1.

    \begin{aligned} 7 \times 120 &= 840 \\[10pt] 840 \div 10 &= 84 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{84}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{70}\% \text{ of } {120} \\[8pt] &= 0.7 \times 120 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{84} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
