Final answer:

To find the value of X%, we set up an equation and solve for X.

The result is that 100 is approximately 9.09% less than 110.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for X, we can use the property that if a number is P% of another number, it can be expressed as (P/100) times the other number.

So, 100 = (100 - X)/100 * 110.

We can simplify this equation:

100 = (100 - X)/100 * 110

100 = (11000 - 110X)/100

10000 = 11000 - 110X

-1000 = -110X

X = -1000/-110

X = 9.09 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, 100 is approximately 9.09% less than 110.
