18 is 36% of 50.

Solution:

Need to determine what percent of 50 is 18.

Let's assume x % of 50 is 18.

x % can be written in fraction as $\frac{x}{100}$

Hence  x % of 50 is written as,

$\frac{x}{100} \times 50=18$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2}=18} \\ {\Rightarrow x=18 \times 2=36 \%}\end{array}$

So 18 is 36% of 50.

This can also be determined by another method.

18 out of 50 can also be written as 18/50

Percentage is equal to numerator when denominator is 100.

So we need to find equivalent rational number of $\frac{18}{50}$ where denominator = 100

On multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 we get

$\frac{18 \times 2}{50 \times 2}=\frac{36}{100}=36 \%$

Hence 18 is 36% of 50.
