Answer 1

Answer:

18 / 3 * 4 = a

a = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that 18 is = to %75 but we need to know what %100 is, to figure this out lets find a common denominator

so we know that %75 of something is 3/4, and to double check, we can take the fraction 3/4 and divide it the way its written, bc thats what a fraction is, a small division problem

3 / 4 = 0.75 or 75/100 or %75

so now we know we have 3 out of 4 parts of something, to find out how big each part is, we divide the number (18) by how many pieces we have...

18 / 3 = 6

so each 1/4 is = to 6, now to figure out the whole, we multiply by how many pieces are in said whole, in this case by 4

6 * 4 = 24

so since we know that 6 is = to %25 and we multiplied 6 by 4, we can do the same to %25...

25 * 4 = 100

and have the whole

this is basically a detailed explanation of the other answer

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

75%=18
100%=?
If you divide 18 by 3=6
So 6 =25%
So 25%+75%=100%
Therefore
6+18=24=100%

So an equation would look like.
(18dividedby3)4=n
Good luck!
