What Percent is 1200 of 500?

We need to find what percentage 1200 is of 500.

Part (the amount we have): 1200

Whole (the total): 500

We're asking: "1200 out of 500 is how many percent?"

To find what percent one number is of another, we use:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

This gives us the part as a fraction of the whole, then converts to a percentage.

Step 1: Divide the part by the whole:

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

2.4 × 100 = 240%

1200 is 240% of 500.

This means if you had 500 items and took 1200 of them,

you would have 240% of the total.
