18 is 20 percent of what number?

Answer 1

Well, honey, if 18 is 20% of a number, you just need to do a little math dance to find the answer. You divide 18 by 0.20 to get the total number. So, 18 divided by 0.20 equals 90. So, the number you're looking for is 90.

Answer 2

First, you would take your values: 18 and 20. Being an is-over-of problem, it would be set up like this:

18/x = 20/100

And cross multiply to where you get:

1800 = 20x

Then divide 20 from both sides to get your final product of:

90

Answer 3

20% of 90 is equal to 18.
