99% of what number= 23%

Answer 1

To find a number that is 99% of another number, you would divide the other number by 99% (or 0.99).

Let's call the number we are trying to find "x."

0.99x = 23%

To find x, you divide both sides of the equation by 0.99:

x = (23%)/0.99

= 23/0.99

≈ 23.2323

So 99% of approximately 23.2323 is equal to 23%.
