To determine the number of caramel brownies that Scarlett brought, we need to find 30% of the total number of brownies.
First, we know the total number of brownies is 60. We can calculate 30% of 60 as follows:
\[
30\% \text{ of } 60 = \frac{30}{100} \times 60
\]
Now we perform the multiplication:
\[
= 0.30 \times 60 = 18
\]
Therefore, the number of caramel brownies Scarlett brought is \( \boxed{18} \).
