A percentage is really just a decimal with the point moved over
a couple of places. So what you really need is just the decimal
form of  36/48. 

As always, a fraction is just a short way to say "divided by", and
when you actually go ahead and do the division indicated by the
fraction, you get the decimal.

When you divide 36 by 48, the quotient is  0.75 .

To turn a decimal into a percentage, move the point 2 places
toward the right.

       0.75  =  75%
