1. 36 is .75% of
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: That % sign means \"over 100\".
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "36 = (0.75/100)x
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3600 = 0.75x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 0.75 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4800
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. 10,800 is 90% of
\n" ); document.write( "10,800 = (90/100) x
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1080000 = 90x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 90 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12000
