Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = n

So, we say that:

$47\%\text{ of n}=36.66$

We then write this mathematically as:

$\begin{gathered} (47)/(100)* n=36.66 \\ 47n=36.66*100 \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 47:

$\begin{gathered} (47n)/(47)=(36.66*100)/(47) \\ n=(3666)/(47) \\ n=78 \end{gathered}$

Thus, 36.66 is 47% of 78.
