X% = 100 × PW

This formula says that:

"To find the percentage from the whole, knowing the part, divide the part by the whole then multiply the result by 100".

Step 3: replacing the values into the formula, we get:

X% = 100 × 1618

X% = 160018

X% = 88.89 (answer)

X = 1618 = 0.8889

Thus, the answer is 16 is 0.8889 out of 18 as a decimal.
