What Percent Of 48 Is 36
2017-01-19 16:18:55 · answer #2 · answered by treat 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
To find the answer, divide 36 by 48 and then multiply by 100. So in this case:
(36 / 48) * 100 = (3 / 4) * 100 = 75%.

36/48 * 100
= 3/4 * 100
= 75%
ie 36 is 75% of 48.

"What percet of 48 is 36?" can be reworded as: "36 is X% of 48."
We can write this statement(36 is X% of 48) as:
36 = X% * 48, since "of" indicates multiplication(hence the * symbol)
Now to convert from percent(%) to decimal, you move the decimal place two spots to the left. So to convert X% to a decimal, we move the decimal place over 2 places: X. --> 0.0X
So now we have:
36 = 0.0X * 48
From here, we have an algebraic equation that we can readily solve:
36 = 0.0X * 48
First, we get X on one side of the equation by itself. To do this, we want to get rid of the 48 on the right side of the equation. To do this, we divide both sides by 48, since 48/48 = 1, and 1* 0.0X = 0.0X.
36/48 = 0.0X * 48/48
36/48 = 0.0X * 1
36/48 = 0.0X
We can further reduce the fraction on the left side(36/48) by dividing the fraction's numerator and denominator by a common factor, in this case being 12.:
36 divided by 12 = 3
---- ----
48 divided by 12 = 4
Therefore, 36/48 = 3/4.
So now we have:
3/4 = 0.0X
OR
0.75 = 0.0X
But we don't want to know what 0.0X is; we want to know what X is.
To get from 0.0X to X, we simply move the decimal place 2 spots to the right...which is the same thing as multiplying 0.0X by 100.
Therefore, let's multiply both sides by 100.
0.75 = 0.0X
0.75 * 100 = 0.0X * 100
75 = X
Therefore, X = 75. 36 is 75% of 48.

= 100%(36 / 48)
= 100%(3/4)
= 75%

(36 / 48) x 100%
3 / 4 x 100%
75%
(was this a test mark?!!)

I'll do better than give you the answer-- I'll give you the formula.
What number do these have in common?
(3 x 12 = 36 and 4 x 12 = 48)...
So. 3/4th or.... 75%
or... divide the smaller by the larger and you have... 75%

Besides the answer, you should be remembering how to always find this kind of answer. That answer is: To find what percentage a part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and move the decimal point in the resulting answer two places to the right.
Easiest answer: Divide 36 by 48 and then in your answer move the decimal point two places to the right.

x percent of 48 is 48x/100 = 36
48x=3600 (multiply both sides by 100)
x=3600/48=75
75 % of 48 is 36.
