Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

36

Discussion:

From the problem statement

(3/4) x = 27

where "x" is the number to be found.

Multiply both side of the above equation by (4/3):

(4/3)(3/4)x = 27 (4/3) =>                            as (4/3)(3/4) = 1

1x = 27 * 4/3 = 108/3 = 36

Thank you,
