Question

36 is what percent of 80?

Answer 1

Let's find what percentage of 80 is 36

Let x represent the percentage.

Thus, we have:

x% of 80 = 36

`(x)/(100)*80=36`

Let's solve for x:

`(80x)/(100)=36`

Multiply both sides by 100:

`\begin{gathered} (80x)/(100)*100=36*100 \\ \\ 80x=3600 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 80:

`\begin{gathered} (80)/(x)=(3600)/(80) \\ \\ x=45 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 36 is 45 percent of 80.

ANSWER:

45%
