Question

If 36% of a number is 180, find 6% of that number.

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the original number whose 36% is 180.

To do so, you can use the generic equation below:

$\frac{resultant}{orignalnumber} =\frac{percent}{100percent}$

Now plug in the variables

resultant = 180 because the resulting number of the % is 180

percent = 36% because 180 is 36% of number

original number = represented by x

$\frac{180}{x} =\frac{36}{100}$

36 * x = 180 * 100

36x = 18000

x = 18000/36 = 500

Next, find 6% of the original number, 500

To do that, simply plug in the numbers into the generic equation used above:

resultant = represented by x

percent = 6%

original number = 500

$\frac{x}{500} =\frac{6}{100}$

100 * x = 6 * 500

100x = 3000

x = 3000/100 = 30
