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.
