How would you give 57p as a percentage of £1.20?

I would convert the pounds to pennies (so £1.20 = 120p), so we're using the same units.

Then I would divide 57p by 120p and times the result by 100. This would give 47.5%.

Firstly, we need to convert £1.20 into pence, so 120p, then we simply type in the calculator 57/120 *100

57p as a percentage of £1.20 is 47.5%

To work it out you would divide 57p by £1.20 (120p) and multiply the answer by 100.

You would do 0.57/1.20 which will give you 0.475.

you’d then times that by 100 to give you 47.5%.

You need to convert both amounts into either pounds or pence. I will choose pence and then divide 57p by 120p and multiply the answer by 100.

Hi! This would be 48%. Hope that helps :)

you would take 52, divide it by 1.20 and multiple it by 100.

The benefits of working with money and percentages is that both amount to 100 e.g. 100p = £1, percentages are always capped at 100%. The total (dependent number, in this case £1.20) is always and can only ever be 100%.

This can be done in one step as long as you understand the concept.

Here, 100% is £1.20

Let's make our variables (pence) the same by converting £1.20 to pennies = 120p

57/120 x 100% = 47.5%

57p is 47.5% of £1.20

To make it easier you need to have the money in the same format, I would suggest putting them into pence. As there are 100 pennies in £, you would multiply 1.20 by 100 to give you 120p.

This is now 57 out of 120 or you could write it as a fraction 57/120.

The / line in a fraction is divide.

So do the calculation as you read it 57 ÷ 120 and this will turn it into a decimal (a number out of 1). Answer: 0.475

Percentage means out of 100. To convert a decimal to a percentage you multiply it by 100.

0.475 × 100 = 47.5%

• Hi Penelope: Written using the formula: P% = 57 ÷ 120 (convert pounds to pence).
• P% = 57 ÷ 120 = 0.475
• Convert the decimal to percent
• P% = 0.475 × 100 = 47.5% (to get %P multiply by 100).
• So 57p is 47.5% of £1.20

In short: 57/120 *100=%

To get the percentage of a number, first divide the amount by the total amount. For example, 0.57 (57p) divided by 1.20. Then multiply by 100 for the percentage.

0.57 / 1.20 = 0.475 x 100% = 47.5%

and if you check your answer 1.20 x 47.5% or 1.20 x 0.475 = 0.57 or 57p

47.5% I converted £1.20 into pence so 120p and then did (57/120)*100

Well the easiest way is learn the ratio method.

Lets make 2 coloums

Percentage : £

100% : 1.20£

x% : 0.57£

If you cross multiply, you will get the answer.

100 * 0.57 = X * 1.20

X = 47.5%

So, the answer is 47.5%

Find the answer 57 divided by 120 using the bus stop method. Multiply this number by 100

first, convert £1.20 into pennies, by multiplying 1.20 by 100 (as there are 100 pennies (p) in a pound (£)).

please note that there are 100 pennies in a pound.

£1.20x100£ per p=120p

Now, find how many 57 pennies go into 120 pennies (57 divided by 120)

use a calculator for this

you should get 0.475.

This has now given you your fraction between the two values given in the question.

to convert from a fraction to a percentage we now multiply by 100.

This gives us 0.475x100 = 47.5%.

We can now conclude that 57p is 47.5% of £1.20.

Please note that percent (%) is said as per-cent (as in out of 100)

mathematically, we write this as multiply by 1/100 (x1/100) where x means times.
