Question

9 is what percent of 300?

Answer 1

The answer is 3! That’s what I think :)

Answer 2

Answer:

9:300*100 =

(9*100):300 =

900:300 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 300 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=300$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=9$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=300(1)$.

$x\%=9(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{300}{9}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{9}{300}$

$\Rightarrow x=3\%$

Therefore, $9$ is $3\%$ of $300$.
