Answer: 4000

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the given , we have the following equation:

0.9% of x = 36

Convert 0.9% into decimal number by dividing it by 100 and replace of by multiply sign, we get


(0.9)/(100)* x = 36

Multiply 100 on both the sides , we get


0.9x=3600

Divide both the sides by 0.9 , we get


x=4000

Hence, the required number is 4000.
