Let's solve this simple percentage problem,

Definitions

Percentage - Percentages are essentially fractions where the denominator is 100. To show that a number is a percent, we use the percent symbol (%) beside the number.

Cross Multiplication - In mathematics, specifically in elementary arithmetic and elementary algebra, given an equation between two fractions or rational expressions, one can cross-multiply to simplify the equation or determine the value of a variable.

Division - Division, otherwise known as the inverse of multiplication separates a certain number into what it has been divided by.

Now that we understand the definition we can further solve this equation

  • 231

  • 330

________________

Now we will add to solve this equation


\large\red{\mid{\underline{\overline{\textbf{Equtation}}}\mid}}


(x)/(100)=(231)/(330)

Now we will do cross multiplication


231\cdot100\\x\cdot330


330x=231000

Finally, we will do some division


x=70
