To find the number of which 9 is 25%, you can set up a simple equation. Let's denote the unknown number as x.

Setting Up the Equation

Since 25% can be expressed as a fraction, we know that:

  • 25% = 25/100 = 1/4

This means that:

9 = (1/4) * x

Solving for x

To isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 9 * 4

Calculating the Result

Now, perform the multiplication:

x = 36

Final Answer

The number of which 9 is 25% is 36.
