okay so that makes a bit more sense ig. i just have to find out what times 36 gets me 108, right?
Right!
To find the number that 108 is 36% of, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the unknown number x.
The proportion can be represented as:
108 / x = 36 / 100
To solve the proportion, we first cross multiply:
108 * 100 = 36 * x
This simplifies to:
10,800 = 36x
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 36:
x = 10,800 / 36
Performing the division gives:
x = 300
Therefore, 108 is 36% of the number 300.
