    Just multiply 120 by 0.15.

    120 x 0.15 = 18.

    15% of 100 is 15.

    Take 15% and convert it to a decimal and multiply it by 100.

    .15 x 100 = 15

    do the same for 120

    .15 x 120 = 18

    10% is 12

    half that, or 5% is 6

    so 15% must be 18

    but do .15 x 120 to be sure

    % or per cent means for every 100 (divide by 100)

    120 * 15/100 = 1800/100 = 18

    120 = 15%

    So

    120 * 0,15 = 18%
