Explanation:

We already have our first value 180 and the second value 108. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

STEP 1Y =

108

180

By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100 we will get:

STEP 2Y =

108
