In this question, the thing that needs to be found is the number whose 20% would be 18. The information's required for getting to the solution are already provided in the question. based on those given information's, the answer can be deduced very easily.
Let us assume the unknown number to be = x
Then
(20/100) * x = 18
x/5 = 18
x = 18 * 5
= 90
so the unknown number in the question is 90. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
We are given a function f ( x ) defined as follows:

We are to determine the value of f ( x ) when,

In such cases, we plug in/substitue the given value of x into the expressed function f ( x ) as follows:

We will apply the power on both numerator and denominator as follows:

Now we evaluate ( 2 ) raised to the power of ( 1 / 9 ).

Next apply the division operation as follows:

Once, we have evaluated the answer in decimal form ( 5 decimal places ). We will round off the answer to nearest thousandths.
Rounding off to nearest thousandth means we consider the thousandth decimal place ( 3rd ). Then we have the choice of either truncating the decimal places ( 4th and onwards ). The truncation only occurs when (4th decimal place) is < 5.
However, since the (4th decimal place) = 8 > 5. Then we add ( 1 ) to the 3rd decimal place and truncate the rest of the decimal places i.e ( 4th and onwards ).
The answer to f ( 1 / 2 ) to the nearest thousandth would be:
