Question #31c61

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Let's call the percent we are looking for `p`.

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore p% can be written as `p/100`.

So we can write and solve for `p`:

`p/100 = 36/90`

`color(red)(100) * p/100 = color(red)(100) * 36/90`

`cancel(color(red)(100)) * p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) = 3600/90`

`p = 40`

`color(red)(40%)` of 90 is 36
