Did you take that in the correct context? It says what number is $36 12.5% of...at least thats how I see it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you take the question how I did, the answer is 288

OpenStudy (anonymous):

caholt22 is right. 12.5% is one eigth (1/8) of 100. So since 12.5% of the number you're looking for is 36, you multiply 36 x 8 = 288
