To find the percentage of the original price that a coat was sold for, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Selling Price}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100
\]
Here, the selling price is \(66\) and the original price is \(120\).
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{66}{120} \right) \times 100
\]
Now, we can calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{66}{120} = 0.55
\]
Next, we multiply by \(100\) to convert it to a percentage:
\[
0.55 \times 100 = 55
\]
Thus, the coat was sold for **55%** of its original price.
