75% of what number is 27?

So we want to know the number from which we take 75% and get 27. If the number we are looking for is x, then the equation to find that x would be: (75/100) * x=27 which says seventy five percent out of x is equal 27. So, x = (27*100) / 75. And finally, x = 2700/75=36. So, 75% out of 36 is 27.
