Writing the information in form of ratio

Three point basket: Three point tries
            3                  :           4
           27                 :           x

Think about multiplication, how many 3s do you need to make 27? 
It's 27 ÷ 3 = 9

Because you need 9 lots of 3, then to make it proportional, you'd need 9 lots of 4 

9 × 4 = 36

Three-points tries is 36 points
