Let's find what percentage of 80 is 36

Let x represent the percentage.

Thus, we have:

x% of 80 = 36

Let's solve for x:

Multiply both sides by 100:

$\begin{gathered} (80x)/(100)*100=36*100 \\ \\ 80x=3600 \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides by 80:

$\begin{gathered} (80)/(x)=(3600)/(80) \\ \\ x=45 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 36 is 45 percent of 80.

ANSWER:

45%
