Let 'x' represent the percent of 18.
Let '100' represent the whole 36.

Set up a proportion:
x/18 = 100/36
You cross multiply and get:
36x = 1800
Now divide both sides by 36:
36x/36 = 1800/36
you get:
50



apologiabiology
so 36% of x is 18
percent is parts out of 100
36%=36/100=0.36
'of' can be translated as muitiply
0.36 times x=18
divide both sdies by .36
x=50
the number is 50
