You can write this out as:

x - 0.4x = 36

The number minus 40% of the number is 36.  To simplify, combine like terms:

0.6x = 36

Finally, divide each side by 0.6:

x = 60

The original number is 60.

All you have to do is find (3/10) of 60, and find the triangle with that number
for its label.

The exact same kind of problem was answered correctly by 2 people for the question you posted 9 minutes earlier, and one of them even explained how
he did it.  If you're getting anything more than answers from Brainly ... I mean
if you're actually getting HELP here ... then you ought to be able to answer
this one on your own.
