If 12% of x is equal to 6% of y, then 18% of x will be equal to how much percent of y?
9%
To find out how much percent 18% of x is equal to in terms of y, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.
Given: 12% of x = 6% of y
Let's represent this equation mathematically:
0.12x = 0.06y
Now, we need to find out how much percent 18% of x is equal to in terms of y.
We can set up a new equation using the given information:
0.18x = (x/100) * 18
To find out how much percent of y this is equal to, we can solve for y by substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second equation:
0.18x = (0.12x/0.06) * 18
Simplifying the equation:
0.18x = 2 * 18
0.18x = 36
Solving for x:
x = 36/0.18
x = 200
Now, we can substitute the value of x into the second equation to find the percentage in terms of y:
0.18 * 200 = (200/100) * y
36 = 2y
Solving for y:
y = 36/2
y = 18
Therefore, 18% of x is equal to 100% of y.
