After that, we will convert the term 60 % into fraction. After that, we will multiply 60 % with 200. After solving the further question, we will get our answer.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Let us solve this question.
In this question, we have asked to find the value of 60 % of 200.
So, for solving this, let us first know about the term %.
The term % is read by percentage.
And, the term ‘of’ means multiply.
The term % can be written in fraction as 1 divided by 100 that is \[\dfrac{1}{100}\].
So, we can write the term 60 % as \[60\times \dfrac{1}{100}\].
And, we know that of means multiply. So, we can write the term “60 % of 200” as
\[60\times \dfrac{1}{100}\times 200\]
The above can also be written as
\[\Rightarrow 60\times \dfrac{1}{1}\times 2\]
The above can also be written as
\[\Rightarrow 60\times 2\]
The above can also be written as
\[\Rightarrow 120\]
So, now we have found the number which is 60 % of 200. The found number is 120.

Note: As this question is from the topic of algebra, so we should have a better knowledge in that topic. Always remember that % means percentage and it is written in mathematical form as \[\dfrac{1}{100}\]. And, the term ‘of’ means multiply or time. For example, if we say 60 of 1, it means 60 multiplied by 1 or 60 times 1.
