What value divided by 100 equals 99?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 99?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 99 = 9900

To prove this, let's compute 9900 divided by 100: 9900 100 = 99

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 99 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 99

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 99
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 99 = 9900

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 99, the dividend is 9900.
