If 32% of 425 minus what percentage of 250 equals 36, what is the missing percentage?

Explanation

Calculate 32% of 425: (32/100) × 425 = 136. Let the unknown percentage be x%. The equation is 136 - (x/100) × 250 = 36. Rearranging gives (x/100) × 250 = 136 - 36 = 100. Solving for x: x = (100 × 100) / 250 = 40%. Therefore, the missing percentage is 40%.
