Answer:

the answer is 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

let's break this up a bit.(don't mind the fact that i'm bad at explanations).

18 is a multiple of 6, and we know that 24÷6=4. Therefore, 6 would be 25% of 24. Because 18 is a multiple of 6, 6*3=18.

Replace 6 with 25%, and 25x3=75.

Therefore the answer is 75%. Sorry my explanation sucked but there you go!
