What percent of 225 is 99?

Question

So then I wrote out
225 Over X
and then I wrote =
To 99/100?
Is that what you would do?
Because if you add up all percents, you should always get 100?
Could someone correct me and help me get the right answer?
THANK YOU!

Answer 1

First, let's look at a possible logical answer.

You know that 99 is less than half of 225. So the percentage will be less than 50%.

99 / 225 = 0.44 = 44%

Answer 2

My teacher also taught me that you can set it up in a way so you can cross multiply?

Answer 3

225/100 = 99/x

225x = 9900
x = 9900/225
x = ?
