Question

Find the unknown value 9 is the 25% of

Answer 1

If 9 is 25% of a number, using this knowledge, we can solve this problem using an equation. First, we must convert 25% to its decimal equivalent, by dividing by 100 (moving the decimal place two places to the left). 25% = 25/100 = 0.25.

Knowing this, we can construct our equation and let our unknown value be represented by the variable x.

9 = 0.25x

To solve our equation, we must divide both sides by 0.25 to get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 36

Therefore, your answer is 36 (9 is 25% of 36).

Hope this helps!
