Question
What is 120% of 2,000?
- 240
- 400
- 2,400
- 4,000
The correct answer is: 2,400
The word per cent means per 100. Hence, Percentage means, a part per hundred.
To find percentage, we multiply the number with percentage value and divide it with 100.
This means-
If 100% = total number then (Here, 2,000),
120% = ?
then using cross multiplication, we get-
120% of 2,000 = 
× 2,000
Step-by-step solution:-
× 2,000
= 120 × 20
= 2,400
Final Answer:-
Option C i.e. 2,400 is the correct Option.
Note:-
Alternatively, for faster calculation, we first multiply the non-zero digits if the 2 values i.e. 12 × 2 = 24.
Now, we know that 120% (i.e. (100 + 20) %) of any number is greater than that number.
∴ The only option that is greater than 2,000 and has 24 in it is C.
Hence, Option C i.e. 2,400 is the correct answer.
