You know that 22% of a number, x, is 33. you also know that 44% of a number, y, is 99 what are the values of x and y? which number is greater?

First. We calculate the value of "x"

22% of x = 33

(22/100) x=33

x = (33*100) / 22=150

Second: We calculate the value of "y".

44% of y = 99

(44/100) y=99

y = (99*100) / 44=225

Therefore:

x=150

y=225

225>150 then y>x

Answer: y is greater than x.
