Answer 6

\(\large \rm \frac{part}{whole}~=~\frac{percent}{100}\)

The part is 18, since you are trying to find out what percent of 24 is 18.
The whole is 24, since you are finding out the problem from this number.
The percent is unknown, because that is what we are trying to find.

\(\large \rm \frac{18}{24}~=~\frac{percent}{100}\)

Next you can multiply the part by 100, and take the product of part x 100, and divide is by the whole.

18 x 100 = 1,800

1,800/24 = percent
