Answer:

ITS 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

To rephrase this problem: 120 is what percent of 500.

Let's call the percent we are looking for  

p

. Then we can say:

p

of 500 = 120 or

p × 500 = 120

Solving for  

p  

while keeping the equation balanced gives:

p × 500

500 = 120

500  p = 0.24  or

24 %
