100%<---->18
10%<------>1.8
1%<-------->0.18
6%<-------->1.08
The fraction 6/18 is comparable to a limiteless form of different fractions, which includes 12/36, or 24/seventy two. although, the simplest variety of this fraction is a million/3, this is probably what you're asking?
18 x 6%
= 18 x 6/100
= 108/100
= 1.08
6 % is equal to 0.06
Take 18 X 0.06=1.08
You need to change 6% to a decimal. You always do that by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left. In 6% the decimal point is after the 6. So moving it 2 places to the left would make it .06. Now multiply 18 x .06 = 1.08.
Keep in mind that of means multiply. So, you have 6% times 18. You can't multiply a percent; therefore, you have to change it to a decimal. To change a percent to a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left (if there is not a decimal, you assume it's at the right side of the last digit). So, 6% would become .06. Now multiply .06*18 and you get
1.08.
The answer key is wrong. You can use a calculator to check and see that it should be 1.08.
6% = 6/100 = 0.06
so 0.06*18 = 1.08, not 0.108
The answer should be 1.08, the answer key is wrong
