Answer: 45

Explanation:

To find a percentage of a number, like what we're being asked to do, you multiply the number ( 18 in this case ) with the decimal form of the percentage. So, since we know 100% is equal to 1, 150% is equal to 1.5 and so on, 250% must be equal to 2.5. Since we know this, we now do:

2.5 x 18 = 45.

Answer: 45

100% of 18 = 18

50% of 18 = 9

18 + 18 = 36 = 200%

36 + 9 = 45 = 250%
