Question

Explain your reasoning. 75% of what number is 18?

Answer 1

The number is 13.5

To determine the percentage of a number, we need to know that percentage is the ratio of a number with zero.

It is represented with the symbol, '%'

Now, from the information given, we have that;

75% of 18

This is represented as;

75/100 ×18

Multiply the numerators, we get;

1350/100

Now, divide the values, we get;

13.5

Thus, the number that is 75% of 18 is 13.5
