Answer 6

In math, "of" usually means "times."
"is" means =.
Also, "percent" means "divided by 100" or "over 100".
An unknown is a variable, such as x.
We can translate your sentence into an equation.
Then we solve the equation.

Answer 7

Colors can be very useful in math.

\(\sf \color{red}{Eighteen} ~\color{green}{is} ~\color{blue}{60\%} ~\color{purple}{of} ~\color{orange}{what ~number}?\)

Answer 8

\(\sf \color{red}{Eighteen} ~\color{green}{is} ~\color{blue}{60\%} ~\color{purple}{of} ~\color{orange}{what ~number}?\)

\( \color{red}{~~~~~~18} ~\color{green}{~~=} ~\color{blue}{\dfrac{60}{100}} ~\color{purple}{\times} ~\color{orange}{~~~~~~x}\)

We have this equation:

\(18 = \dfrac{60}{100}x\)

\(18 = 0.6x\)

Solve for x.
Divide both sides by 0.6
