What is 999 percent of 1099 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1099 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 1099 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1099=100%.
4. We know, that x is 999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1099=100%
2) x=999%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
1099/x=100%/999%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 999% of 1099

1099/x=100/999
(1099/x)*x=(100/999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1099=0.1001001001001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1001001001001) to get x
1099/0.1001001001001=x
10979.01=x
x=10979.01

now we have:
999% of 1099=10979.01
