To find the percentage of 180 out of 600, divide 180 by 600.

180÷600= 0.3

Therefore, 180 of 600, in percentage form, is 30%.

Hope this helps!
To find the percentage of a data set you use this equation.

x%/100 = is/of

Your problem says 180 of the 600 counters in the bag are red. Work out 180 as a percentage.

So therefore write

x%                   180
---          =       --------
100%              600

Cross multiply: 1800 * 100 & 600 * x

You should end up with 600x=18,000

Divide 600 by 18,000 to get the variable x by itself:  600x=18000
                                                                                       ---------  ---------
                                                                                         600      600

x=30

Therefore, 30% of  the 600 counters in the bag are red.
