I can use proportions to solve this problem. Firstly, we need to set up our first proportion. That will be 18/x. Then, our next proportion can be 65/100. We can then cross multiply 18*100 to give us 1800. Next, we divide by 65. This gives us 27.69. 65 percent of 27.69 is 18.

Answer:

65% of 27.69 is 18.

Explanation:

Formula = Number x 100

Percent = 18 x 100

65 = 27.69

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula

Step 1: If 65% of a number is 18, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

18

65% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

65Y = 18 x 100

65Y = 1800

Y = 1800

100 = 27.69
