Answer:
36%

Explanation:
To get the percentage of a fraction, we follow these steps:
1- simplify the fraction (get its simplest form)
2- multiply this simplest form by 100%

For the given, we have:
1- the fraction is [tex] \frac{18}{50} [/tex]
We can note that both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2. Therefore, we can reduce the fraction into [tex] \frac{9}{25} [/tex]

2- Since no further simplification can be applied, therefore, our simplest form is [tex] \frac{9}{25} [/tex]

3- we multiply this simplest form by 100%:
[tex] \frac{9}{25} [/tex] * 100 = 36%

Based on the above:
18 is 36% of 50

Hope this helps :)
