#120%#

Explanation:

Percent means #1/100#, so essentially, #x%# (#x# percent) when #x# is a percent is just #x# times #%#.

This means #x% = x times 1/100= x/100#

To write a number as percent, you can multiply it by #100%#, since #100/100# is simply #1#.

For your example, #1.2 = 1.2*100% = 120%#

You should also pay attention to your classes, this is a very fundamental information.
