Question

If 36 is 90% of a value, what is that value?

Answer 1

the value would more than likely 40

Answer 2

You know 36 is 90% of a value, so it will equal 90/100.
Multiply 90/100 types x (value). Easiest way is to simplify 90/100 = 9/10.
x = 36 / 9/10
x = 360 / 9
x = 40
Therefore, the value would be 40.
