Explanation

The correct answer is $27$ . It’s given that $6 percent sign$ of the $450$ tiles in a box are black. Therefore, the number of black tiles in the box can be calculated by multiplying the number of tiles in the box by $StartFraction 6 Over 100 EndFraction$ , which is equivalent to $450 left parenthesis StartFraction 6 Over 100 EndFraction right parenthesis$ , or $27$ .
