Solve for x.
108 is 36% of what number? Write and solve a proportion to solve the problem.
Solve for 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.
