18% of the cars in the parking lot are blue. If there are 150 cars in the parking lot, how many cars are blue?

27

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 18% can be written as  

18 /100 .

When dealing with percentage, the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Finally, lets call the number we are looking for "n".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for  "n "

while keeping the equation balanced:

n  =  18 /100  ×  150

n  =  2700 /100

n  =  27

27 is 18% of 150

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
