The problem is 20% of x = 9.

20% is .2 which will make the arithmetic simpler. Divide both sides of the equation by .2, which gives us x = 9/.2

Carry out the division and you get 45. You may want to multiply the top and the bottom of that fraction by ten, so that the problem becomes 90/2, or half of 90, which is 45.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
