If $36=75%,
That means we can divide both sides by three to get $12=25%,
And because 25x4 is 100, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get $48=100%,
So the answer is $48 dollars.

This also worked for me but I’m not sure it’s the most reliable way:
36 ÷ 0.75 = 48
(amount after discount ÷ percentage that is remaining)
