25% of what number is 9
let
x-----------> the number
we know that
\(25\) % is equal to \(\frac{25}{100}\)
\((\frac{25}{100})*x=9\)
multiply by 100 both sides
\(25*x=900\)
divide by 25 both sides
\(x= \frac{900}{25} \\ x=36\)
the answer is
the number is \(36\)
Answer: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Thus we can write:
\(25\%\times x=9\)
\(\frac{25}{100}\times x=9\)
\(x=\frac{9\times 100}{25}\)
\(x=36\)
Thus 25% of 36 is 9.
