Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the total number of signatures she needs to collect

Given percentage = 36%

Signature collected = 432

According of statement;

36% of x = 432

[tex]\frac{36}{100}*x=432\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{36x}{100}=432\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by 100\\100*\frac{36x}{100}=432*100\\36x=43200\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 36\\\frac{36x}{36}=\frac{43200}{36}\\x=1200[/tex]

Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.
