Answer :
To determine if [tex]\(120\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(55\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(55\)[/tex], we can break it down into step-by-step calculations.
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
[tex]\[ 120\% = \frac{120}{100} = 1.2 \][/tex]
2. Calculate [tex]\(120\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(55\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 1.2 \times 55 = 66.0 \][/tex]
3. Compare the result with [tex]\(55\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 66.0 > 55 \][/tex]
From this calculation, we can see that [tex]\(120\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(55\)[/tex] is [tex]\(66.0\)[/tex], which is indeed greater than [tex]\(55\)[/tex].
Therefore, the statement [tex]\(120\% \text{ of } 55 > 55\)[/tex] is true.
