\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{Keep in mind that \boxed{of} means multiplication in mathematics and}\\\large\text{percentages run out of 100.}


\mathsf{3\%\ of\ x = 10}


\mathsf{(3)/(100)\ of\ x = 10}


\mathsf{(3)/(100)* x = 10}


\mathsf{(3)/(100)x = 10}


\textsf{Find the reciprocal of }\mathsf{(3)/(100)}\textsf{ and multiply that particular number on both sides.}


\mathsf{(3)/(100)= (100)/(3)}


\textsf{So, that means we have multiply by }\mathsf{(100)/(3)}\textsf{ to both of your sides.}


\mathsf{(100)/(3)*(3)/(100)x = 10* (100)/(3)}


\textsf{Cancel out: }\mathsf{(100)/(3)*(3)/(100)}\textsf{ because it gives you 1}


\textsf{Keep: }\mathsf{10*(100)/(3)}\textsf{ because it gives you the value of x or simply understanding of}\\\textsf{the \boxed{\mathsf{x-value}}\ .}


\mathsf{x = (100)/(3)*10}


\mathsf{x = (100)/(3)*(10)/(1)}


\mathsf{x = (100*10)/(3*1)}


\mathsf{x = (1,000)/(3)}


\mathsf{x\approx 333 (1)/(3)}


\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = }\frak{(1,000)/(3)}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
