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
Where 1/3 of the 1 section had been painted, have each section have 3 parts. So each complete section will be 3/3. Where there is 4 section with 3 parts each, we have 12 parts. Thus, you painted 1/12 of the fence.
I used the 55.2 and the 0.6 to find a ratio of 92:1, so for every cm of toy car steering wheel there are 92 cm of real truck steering wheel. so using this ratio i times the 3.5cm of the toy car windshield by the 92, this gave me the answer of 322cm, which theoretically is the answer of this equation. 322cm.
