300 cookies were ordered to start. 

We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies.  Let x be the total number of cookies.  

Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total 
12/100 = 36/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve. 
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply 
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x

This will be solved by solving for x first. Firstly you multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom by -3. This will change both equation to (top)-10x+6y=-54 and (bottom) 27x-6y=-57. Now when you add the factors the y-values cancel out leaving you with; 17x=-3. now you have to divide by 17 on both sides giving you x=-0.17647058823 (not the prettiest solution but you can round if you want to). After that pick an equation to solve for y (I'm picking the top); the equation will be 5(-0.17647058823)+3y=-27. multiply the negative decimal and 5 to get -0.88235294117 (again not the prettiest). Add that to both sides which will give you 3y=-26.1176470588. After this divide both sides by 3 which will give you y=-8.70588235294. Your answer is (-0.17647058823,-8.70588235294) You can divide to the second or third decimal if needed-----remember that as you round from left to right on a decimal if it's below five you leave it and if it's above 5 then round up 1. I hope this help :)
