What is 120 percent of 742?

Answer: 890.4

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

Lets assume 120 percent of 742 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 120% of 742

120% can also be written as 120/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 120/100 × 742

Or, X = 1.2 × 742

So, X = 890.4

So, 120% of 742 is 890.4

(You may also first multiply 120 with 742, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

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

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 120

RHS = 890.4/742 × 100

Or, RHS = 1.2 × 100

So, RHS = 120

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