Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the problem: We need to find what percent 18 is of 24. This means we want to find the percentage value such that 18 is that percent of 24.
2. Set up the percentage formula: The general formula to find what percent \( x \) is of \( y \) is \( \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{x}{y} \right) \times 100 \). Here, \( x = 18 \) and \( y = 24 \).
3. Substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{18}{24} \right) \times 100 \).
4. Simplify the fraction \( \frac{18}{24} \) by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor to make calculation easier.
5. Multiply the simplified fraction by 100 to convert it into a percentage, which will give the answer to the question.
