Answer 2

First, remember that a percent can be written as a decimal. 6% is equal to 0.06. The number we are trying to find needs a variable. We'll assign it the variable 'n':
Let n= the number that 36 is 6% of.
We are looking for 6 percent of n, which equals 36. This can be put into an equation:
0.06n=36
Now, we can divide both sides by 0.06.
n=600
So, 6% of 600 is 36.
