I think that its 27...

Do you know how to go about solving this?

anonymous · Answer

We an write an equation.

75% of 'x' = 36

0.75x = 36

Divide 36 / 0.75 what do you get?

Fan and medal.... No...

legends · Answer

Deadpool it can't be 27 because remember he made 36 already so it has to be more than 36

anonymous · Answer

So its 48?

legends · Answer

So the answer is 48 shots if you multiply 48 * 0.75 it will equal to 36

anonymous · Answer

@Deadpool. Divide 36 / 0.75 and you have your answer
