36 is 80% of what number?

Question

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To find out what number 36 is 80% of, you can set up the equation:

\[ 36 = 0.8 \times x \]

where \( x \) is the unknown number you are trying to find.

To solve for \( x \), you can divide 36 by 0.8:

\[ x = \frac{36}{0.8} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 45 \]

So, 36 is 80% of 45.
