Question: 18 is what percent of 72?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 72 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=72$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=18$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=72(1)$.
$x\%=18(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{72}{18}$
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{18}{72}$
$\Rightarrow x=25\%$
Therefore, $18$ is $25\%$ of $72$.
