To solve this, create an equation that follows 45% of a value is 18. This would look like x*.45=18. Now, solve for x, x*.45=18, divide by .45, x=18/.45=40, making your value 40. To check, plug in your value to the equation 40*.45=18 and see if it stays true.
You should definitely ask your parents or teacher. Also, never give up :)
Trust me just keep trying your best and don't tell yourself that you can't do it :)
Make an equation:
6x + 12 = 268.26
6x = 256.26
X = $42.71
The monthly payment is $42.71
