Let's find what percentage of 80 is 36
Let x represent the percentage.
Thus, we have:
x% of 80 = 36
[tex]\frac{x}{100}\times80=36[/tex]Let's solve for x:
[tex]\frac{80x}{100}=36[/tex]Multiply both sides by 100:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{80x}{100}\times100=36\times100 \\ \\ 80x=3600 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 80:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{80}{x}=\frac{3600}{80} \\ \\ x=45 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, 36 is 45 percent of 80.
ANSWER:
45%
