300 cookies were ordered to start.
We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies. Let x be the total number of cookies.
Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total
12/100 = 36/x
Now we can cross multiply to solve.
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x
The answer is 24 + 0.057
Hope this helps!
Add the exponents if the bases are the same, multiply the bases if the exponents are the same, if nothing is the same just solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

One half is equal to 3/6.
One third is equal to 2/6.
After removing 600 litres from the tank, there is a decrease from 3/6 to 2/6
3/6-2/6=1/6
600 litres is 1/6 of the tank. Multiply by 6 to get the capacity of a full tank.
600*6=3600
The tank can hold 3600 litres.
