To solve this:
Step 1) Convert eighteen percent to a decimal.
18% = .18
Step 2) Write equation.
24 =.18x
Step 3) Divide both sides by .18 to isolate the variable.
24/.18 = x
Step 4) Simplify the equation.
x = 133.3333
x = 133 1/3
The answer is number 5. 133 1/3

Change 133 and 1/3 to 133.33 because .10 divided by 3 is a repeated 3.
Next, multiply 133.33 with .18.
Your answer is 23.9994 and it rounds to 24.
When you multiply percentages remember to count the numbers right of the decimal point then in your answer you count that many times from left to right. This determines your decimal point place.
