We have the following:

The first thing we have to do is express the value of thirty-six hundredths as a number, like this


0.36

Now we calculate the extended form


\begin{gathered} 0.36=0.30+0.06 \\ 0.30=3\cdot0.1 \\ 0.06=6\cdot0.01 \\ 0.36=(3\cdot0.1)+(6\cdot0.01) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is the third option
