Question

36 is what percent of 90?

Answer 1

.Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

`40`%

Here's how to do it:

`First,~we~make~the~assumption~that~90~is~100`%
`put~value.`

`Next,we~next~represent~the~value~we~seek~with~``x`

`it~follows~that ~100`%
`=90.`

`which,~the~same~thing~goes~for~x`%
`=36`

`Now,~this~gives~us~some~simple~equations:`

`equation~1:~100`%
`=90`

`equation~2:~x`%
`=36`

`By~simply~dividing~equation~1~by~equation~2~and~taking`
`note~of~the~fact~that~both~the~LHS~(left~hand~side)~of~both~equations`
`have~the~same~unit` (%)
`we~have:`

`(100~percentage)/(x~percentage)`
`= (90)/(36)`

`Taking~the~inverse~(or~reciprocal)~of~both~sides~yields`

`(x~percentage)/(100~percentage) =(36)/(90)`

⇒
`x=40`%

`Thus,36~is~40`%
`of~90.`
