A percent is just a fraction.
So take your two numbers and make a fraction with them ... 18/30 .

18 is 18/30 of 30 .

Now, to find the percent that's equivalent to 18/30 ,
first do the division:

18/30 = 0.6 .

Now, to change a decimal into percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .

0.6 = 60% .

18 is 60% of 30 .
