Answer 2

You can do it two ways.

Method 1:

You can do the decimal equivalent of 25%, which is 0.25, and multiply it by 36, in which you get 9.

Method 2:

If you want a more algebraic way, you can set up a proportion.

$\frac{x}{36}= \frac{25}{100}$

You can then use cross products and simplify.

$100x=900 \\ \frac{100x}{100}= \frac{900}{100} \\ p= 9$

25% of 36 is 9.
