So 36% of x is 18
percent is parts out of 100
36%=36/100=0.36
'of' can be translated as muitiply
0.36 times x=18
divide both sdies by .36
x=50
the number is 50
The correct question is
<span>Michael sold 2/3 of his CDs and purchased 16 more. If Michael has 25 CDs now, how many CDs did he have to begin with?
Let
x--------------> numbers of CDs Michael have to begin
if Michael sold (2/3)x-----------> </span><span>are pending to sell (1/3)x
we know that
(1/3)x+16=25--------> </span>(1/3)x=25-16-------> (1/3)x=9---------> x=27
the answer is 27 CDs
