What is 8 percent more than 120? What is the formula used to calculate 8 percent more than 120? How can we calculate 8 percent more than 120?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 8 percent more than 120 (8% more than 120), and then we will calculate the answer to 8 percent more than 120 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 8 percent more than 120 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 8 percent more than 120, as well as other percent more than problems, can be seen below:
PM = ((P ÷ 100) × OV) + OV
PM (Percent More) is the answer we want, P (%) is the percent, and OV (Original Value) is the starting value. Therefore, when we substitute 8 for P and 120 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 8 percent more than 120, as solved here:
PM = ((8 ÷ 100) × 120) + 120
PM = (0.08 × 120) + 120
PM = 9.6 + 120
PM = 129.6
8% more than 120 = 129.6
So, how does our formula work to calculate 8 percent more than 120? First, it takes 8 percent of 120, and then it adds that result to 120 to get our final answer. Below we have provided an illustration so you can better visualize 8 percent more than 120.
