You can write this out as:
x - 0.4x = 36
The number minus 40% of the number is 36. To simplify, combine like terms:
0.6x = 36
Finally, divide each side by 0.6:
x = 60
The original number is 60.
x - 0.4x = 36
The number minus 40% of the number is 36. To simplify, combine like terms:
0.6x = 36
Finally, divide each side by 0.6:
