Answer:
27 is 75% of 36
Step-by-step explanation:
METHOD 1:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}27&-&75\%\\\\x&-&100\%\end{array}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}[/tex]
[tex](75)(x)=(27)(100)\\\\75x=2700\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\x=36[/tex]
METHOD 2:
[tex]n[/tex]-a number
[tex]p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\75\%=\dfrac{75}{100}=0.75[/tex]
75% of a number is 27:
[tex]0.75\cdot n=27\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 0.75}\\\\n=36[/tex]
