Answer:
91%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
- "is" is 90
- "of" is 99
- "percent" is what we are solving for so we will denote it as x
Substituting in our values we get
- We will need to cross multiply here to get (90)(100) = (x%)(99)
- This simplifies to 9000 = 99x%
- Dividing by 99 on both sides we get 90.9% → x = 91%
