To answer your question so that you can help yourself in the future with similar types of problems, use the following understanding.

Suppose in your question you have 27 bulbs, of which 9 are not working, then the 9 that are not working are a fraction of 27, but what fraction?

Here is how to understand it. The bulbs that don't work are the numerators, these are written on top, then the total bulbs included the 9 that don't work are on the bottom, these are called the denominator, you write it like this;

9 / 27 = 0.33 then multiply this by 100

9 / 27 = 0.33 x 100 = 33%.

The exact answer can be done quite easily on a calculator as follows;

9 press button [a b/c] then press 27 = 1/3

Because the answer is a recurring solution then multiply the fraction by 100.

1/3 x 100 = 33 1/3 of 27

Hope that makes things clear.
