Well let the Charlie’s number be x
Apply the 60%
0.6x
Form an equation
0.6x=120
Solve for x

You can also use percentages

#

60% = 120

#

Try and find 1%

#

You can do that by going from 60% to 1%

#

By diving by 60

#

What you do to one side, you do to the other

#

120/60 = 2

#

1% = 2

#

The just find 100%

#

so 1% x 100 = 100%

#

2 x 100 = 200
