Question

In each of the following pairs of numbers, find what percentage the first number forms of the scored.

(11) 18, 60

Answer 1

It can be expressed as $\frac{18}{60}$=$\frac{3}{10}$.
To find the percentage, we will use the fraction with denominator 100.
For that, we will multiply the numerator and denominator by 10.
∴ $\frac{18}{60}=\frac{3}{10}=\frac{3\times 10}{10\times 10}=\frac{30}{100}$ = 30

Thus, 18 is 30% of 60.
