Nothing is easy. Keep practicing! smile with a sprinkle of psychology.
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

To work it out you would divide 57p by £1.20 (120p) and multiply the answer by 100.
First turn the money into a fraction - we want to find 57/120 which is 0.455.
We then multiply that by 100 to find the percentage - 0.455 x 100 = 45.5%

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 :)
Divide 57 by 120, then multiply by 100 to give the percentage
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%.
Convert the £1.20 into pennies which = 120, 57/ 120= 0.475, 0.475 x 100= 47.5%
57/120= 0.475= 47.5

Hi Penelope! Firstly, you can transform £1.20 into pence, which would be 120p. It is important that they are measured in the unit, i.e. both in pence or both in pounds. Then, you would simply divide 57 by 120 and multiply this by 100. This gives you = (57/120)*100 = 47.5%.

You would work out 57p/120p to work out the decimal form and then multiply by 100 to get the %
