Answer:

C is the correct answer:

Solution for 36 is what percent of 128:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 128 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 128, so we can write it down as 100%=128.

4. We know, that x% equals 36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=128

2) x%=36

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=128/36

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36 is what percent of 128

100%/x%=128/36

(100/x)*x=(128/36)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=3.55555555556*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.55555555556) to get x

100/3.55555555556=x

28.125=x

x=28.125

now we have:

36 is 28.125% of 128
