The total amount of students in the class would be 30. The total amount of girls would be 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% * x = 18

(60/100) * x = 18

6x/10 = 186x = 18 * 10

6x = 180x = 180/6 = 30

The total number of students in the class is 30.

Number of girls in the class = 30 - 18 = 12

So there are 12 girls in the class.
