120% of 33 is what number?

Change 120% into a decimal using the DP rule. D stands for decimal and P stands for percent. If you are trying to change a percent into a decimal then move the decimal spots two spaces to the right, but if you are changing a decimal into a percent then you move the decimal two spaces to the right. In this case we have to move the decimal two spaces to the left. Imagine in a percent that there is an imaginary decimal on the right of the 0 in 120 so when you move the decimal to the left it will become 1.20. Now multiply 1.20 and 33 which should give you an answer of 39.6.

The answer is simply 39.6
