Question

36 is 0.9% of what number

Answer 1

0,9/100x = 36
0.009x = 36
x = 36/0.009
x = 4000

Answer 2

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.
