Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation: Let's first find the value of q


18/100 * q = 27\\(18q)/(100) = (27)/(1)\\18q = 2700\\(18q)/(18) = (2700)/(18) \\q= 150.\\

Now we can find 27% of 2q


27 \% * 2q = \\27 \% * 2(150)\\(27)/(100) * 300\\\\= (8100)/(100) \\= 81

In this problem, there are two parts. We will need to find what q is if 18% of q is 27, and what 27% of 2q is.

First, let's set up and solve the equation for 18% of q is 27.

18 / 100 = 27 / q

100q = 486

q = 4.86

Next, we'll find the value of 2q.

2(4.86) = 9.72

Finally, we'll set up a proportion and solve for 27% of 2q.

27 / 100 = x / 9.72

100x = 262.44

x = 2.6244

If 18% of q is 27, then 27% of 2q is 2.6244 (round to tenths/hundredths place as needed).

Hope this helps!! :)
