\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{18\% of 18.75}}{\left( \cfrac{18}{100} \right)18.75} ~~ \approx ~~ \text{\LARGE 3.38}
