Hello! My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you today!

We can solve this problem in two steps, one is Comprehending and another is Solving. I'll start off with Comprehending.

Comprehending

We can start off by looking at the problem, it wants us to find the percentage increase from 36 to 48. We can then find difference between 48 and 36; that would be 12.

Now that we know the increase from 36 to 48 is 12. We need to find how much percent 12 is of 36.

Now that we know what we have to do, we can start solving.

Solving

We can solve the problem by setting up and equation, but we can also just use our logic in finding it out.

Since we know that we need to find how much 12 is of 36, we can just solve for that and we will get our answer.

We can do that with one step.

`(12)/(36)=0.33`

Since it is a percent, we can multiply 0.33 by 100 and we get our answer of 33%
