Answer 2

18 is 36% of 50.

Solution:

Need to determine what percent of 50 is 18.

Let's assume x % of 50 is 18.

x % can be written in fraction as
`(x)/(100)`

Hence x % of 50 is written as,

`(x)/(100) * 50=18`

`\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow (x)/(2)=18} \\ {\Rightarrow x=18 * 2=36 \%}\end{array}`

So 18 is 36% of 50.

This can also be determined by another method.

18 out of 50 can also be written as 18/50

Percentage is equal to numerator when denominator is 100.

So we need to find equivalent rational number of
`(18)/(50)` where denominator = 100

On multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 we get

`(18 * 2)/(50 * 2)=(36)/(100)=36 \%`

Hence 18 is 36% of 50.
