Answer:
297
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up your proportion [tex]\frac{33}{100}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{900}[/tex]. 33 is over 100 to represent the percentage because 33% can also be written as 33/100. The x over 900 is to represent the partial number of the whole number. Next solve the proportion by cross multiplying 33 x 900= 29, 700. Then divide that by 100 which gives you 297. Or just multiply .33 ( Which is 33% as a decimal) by 900, which will also equal 297.
