Question

9 stores is 3% of how many stores

Answer 1

This question is a little tricky.  This means that 9 is 3% of x stores.  3% is equal to 0.03, because a percent is a hundredth of a whole.  To find the percentage of x stores, we multiply the percent (in decimal form) by x.  This is equal to 9.  Our equation is 9=0.03x.  Now, all we have to do is divide 9 by 0.03, to isolate x, and we'll know the answer!  9/0.03=0.03x/0.03.  9/0.03=300.  So, x=300.

Answer: 300 stores
