You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\left(1 + 0.006\right) \cdot 120 - 1\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\left(1 + 0.006\right) \cdot 120 - 1 = \frac{2993}{25} = 119.72\]

\[\begin{aligned}\left(1 + 0.006\right) \cdot 120 - 1& = \left(1 + \frac{6}{1000}\right) \cdot 120 - 1\\& = \left(1 + \frac{3}{500}\right) \cdot 120 - 1\\& = \frac{503}{500} \cdot 120 - 1\\& = \frac{3018}{25} - 1\\& = \frac{2993}{25}\end{aligned}\]
