well the "what percent" part is x/100

since x% = x/100

"what percent of 126" means (x/100)*126

Answer 9

THNAKKS

Answer 10

WAIT SO 75% of what # is 36...27???/

Answer 11

75% of X (the unknown number) is 36

75/100 * X = 32
you could write this as
0.75 X =32
and divide both sides by 0.75 to get X = 32/.75

or you could simplify 75/100 to 3/4 (divide top and bottom by 25)
\[ \frac{3}{4} X = 32 \]
multiply both sides by 4/3 to get
X = 32 * 4/3

Answer 12

you should also think:

75% of a number is smaller than the number
when you say 75% of X is 36

you know the number has to be bigger than 36

Answer 13

no i actually think its 48 cuz you would do the proportion x/36=75/100

Answer 14

? all of those ways give 48

Answer 15

proportions are a good way to do these problems, as long as you can set up the correct proportion.
