Three fourths of a number is - 27. What is the number?

Answer: The answer is - 36

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of - 36 is - 27

Let x be the number

3/4 of x = - 27

Means

(3/4) (x) = - 27

3x/4 = - 27

Multiply by 4 both sides

(4) (3x/4) = (-27) (4)

Cancel out 4 from Right hand side and multiply 4 on left hand side

3x=-108

Divide by 3 both sides

3x/3=-108/3

Cancel out 3 from Right hand side

x=-36

Number is - 36

Have a great day!
