Answer:

10.44

Explanation:

okay so percentages can be converted to decimals

to do this, you can either:

move the decimal space to the left twice

or

divide the percentage (in this case 58) by 100,

regardless you will get the same answer

58.0 → 5.80 → 0.58

now that you have 58% as a decimal, all you have to do is multiply it by 18

(0.58)(18) = 10.44

therefore, 58% of 18 is 10.44
