This is how I was taught:

1. Take the percentage (36%) and change it to a decimal (.36)

2. Set up the equation.

.36x = 108

3. Divide both sides by .36

x = 300

First write the proportion to find the missing value, which I will replace it with n.
108/n = 36/100
Next write the cross products. So, 36n = 108 x 100 = 10,800
divide each side by 36.
36n/36 = 10,800/36
Lastly simplify. Which will be, n = 300.
so my answer is 108 is 36% of 300.
