Question

36.66 is 47% of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:

78

Explanation:

Let the number = n

So, we say that:

$47\%\text{ of n}=36.66$

We then write this mathematically as:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{47}{100}\times n=36.66 \\ 47n=36.66\times100 \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 47:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{47n}{47}=\frac{36.66\times100}{47} \\ n=\frac{3666}{47} \\ n=78 \end{gathered}$

Thus, 36.66 is 47% of 78.
