see a solution process below;

$9.8%$ of $1200$

Let the number be $x$

Hence;

$9.8%$ of $1200 = x$

Recall; $9.8 = 98/10 and 9.8%= 9.8/100$

Therefore;

$98/10%$ of $1200 = x$

$98/(10 xx 100)$ of $1200 = x$

$98/1000$ of $1200 = x$

Note that the of signifies multiplication..

$98/1000 xx 1200 = x$

$98/1000 xx 1200/1 = x$

$98/(10cancel(00)) xx (12cancel(00))/1 = x$

$(98 xx 12)/10 = x$

$1176/10 = x$

$117.6 = x$
