Solve for n 120% of what number is 102 ?

$120 %$ of what number is $102$ ?

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

$120 % \cdot n = 102$

Divide each term in $(120 % \cdot n) = 102$ by $120 %$ .

$\frac{(120 % \cdot n)}{120 %} = \frac{102}{120 %}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $120 %$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{120 % \cdot n}{120 %} = \frac{102}{120 %}$

Divide $n$ by $1$ .

$n = \frac{102}{120 %}$

Simplify the right side.

Convert $120 %$ to a decimal.

$n = \frac{102}{1.2}$

Divide $102$ by $1.2$ .

$n = 85$
