81 servings. I found this by making a ratio:
24 c 108 c
------- = -------
18 ser x
I then cross multiplied to get the equation: 24x=1,944. I solved this equation to find x, the number of servings in 108 cups, which was 81.

I remember doing this back in elementary school. I had a hard time with it too!
