Step-by-step explanation: First we have "what number" which we can represent by the variable x. Next we have is which means "is equal to" so we write an equals sign, then we have 99% which we need to write as a decimal so we move the decimal point 2 places to the left to get 0.99 and "of 33" means times 33.

Now we have the following equation.

X = (.99)(33)
