Answer: 100%

97:97*100 =

(97*100):97 =

9700:97 = 100

Now we have: 97 is what percent of 97 = 100

Question: 97 is what percent of 97?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 97 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=97$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=97$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=97(1)$.

$x\%=97(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{97}{97}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{97}{97}$

$\Rightarrow x=100\%$

Therefore, $97$ is $100\%$ of $97$.
