$90 %$ $90%$

Remember 'of' means multiply and 'is' means equal.

$x % (20) = 18$ $x% (20) = 18$

Divide both sides by $20$ $20$

$x % = \frac{18}{20} = 0.9$ $x% =18/20 = 0.9$

Multiply by $100$ $100$

$x = 90 %$ $x = 90%$

$90 %$ $90%$

The question is easier to understand if you write it differently.

What percent is $18$ $18$ of $20$ $20$ ?

To calculate a percent:

$fraction×100%$ $"fraction" xx 100%$

$\frac{18}{20} \times 100 %$ $18/20 xx 100%$

= $90 %$ $90%$
