Hello!
One percent of something is, by definition, a one-hundredth of this "something".
In this problem, the whole "something" is `24,` and one percent of `24` is `24/100,` or `0.24.`
How much percents of `24` are inside `18`? To answer this question, we divide `18` by one such percent: `18/((24/100)).`
Compute it: `18/((24/100)) = (18*100)/24` (100 goes to the numerator).` `
Reduce by 6, `(18*100)/24=(3*100)/4,`
then reduce by 4: `(3*100)/4=3*25=75.`
This is the answer: 18 is 75% of 24.
