Answer 1

18 is 60% of what number? 30 is your answer.
Let n be the number.

18 = 60% of n
18 = 0.6n
18/0.6 = n
30 = n

Answer 2

of means multiplication

Soooo


`\sf{18 = (60)/(100) * x}`

And simplifying that


`\sf{18 * (100)/(60) = x}`

And simplifying that more:


`\sf{30 =x}`

So x=30

So the number you are looking for is 30
