Explanation:

Write the maths exactly as it sounds,

A percent is a value out of 100

Find 60%"" of 210
color(white)(xxx)darr" "darr""darr
" "60/100" "xx 210

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can do this mentally by realising that 60% = 50%+10%

50% xx 210 = 1/2 xx 210 = 105

10% xx 210 = 210div 10 = 21

105+21 = 126
