The fraction
(18)/(60) represents the number of child tickets that were sold at the water park out of all the tickets that were sold.

To find what percent of tickets sold were child tickets, we can turn
(18)/(60) into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we wanted to write
(18)/(60) as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to
(18)/(60) with a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.


(18)/(60) =
(n)/(100)

60n = 1,800

÷60 ÷60

n = 30

Therefore, 30% of the tickets sold at the water park were child tickets.
