Answer:

If you were trying to find 15% of 18, that would be multiplying a decimal, but, you need to mutliply a whole number. $120 should be your answer. People, correct me if I'm wrong (seriously though, not 100% sure if this is correct).

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 15% x Y

18 = 15/100 x Y

Y = 18 × 100/15

Y = 18 × 100 ÷ 15

Y = 120
