Question

81 is 18% of what number?

Answer 1

The answer is: 450
First we need to see if we need to find the percent, part, or whole. In this case its the whole.
First, you set up a proportion: 18/100 = 81/x
Next, you cross multiply: 18x(8100)
Then, you divide: 8100÷18 = 450
So 450 is your answer.
Hope this helps! :D
