Question

36 is what percent of 90?

Answer 1

.Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$40$%

Here's how to do it:

$First,~we~make~the~assumption~that~90~is~100$% $put~value.$

$Next,we~next~represent~the~value~we~seek~with~``x".$

$it~follows~that ~100$%$=90.$

$which,~the~same~thing~goes~for~x$% $=36$

$Now,~this~gives~us~some~simple~equations:$

$equation~1:~100$% $=90$

$equation~2:~x$% $=36$

$By~simply~dividing~equation~1~by~equation~2~and~taking$ $note~of~the~fact~that~both~the~LHS~(left~hand~side)~of~both~equations$ $have~the~same~unit$ (%) $we~have:$

$\frac{100~percentage}{x~percentage}$ $= \frac{90}{36}$

$Taking~the~inverse~(or~reciprocal)~of~both~sides~yields$

$\frac{x~percentage}{100~percentage} =\frac{36}{90}$

⇒$x=40$%

$Thus,36~is~40$% $of~90.$
