The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start with the information given in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between x and y We know from the question that: \[ x = 90\% \text{ of } y \] This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ x = \frac{90}{100} \times y \] or \[ x = 0.9y \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation to find y in terms of x To find y in terms of x, we can rearrange the equation: \[ y = \frac{x}{0.9} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the expression for y Now, we can simplify the expression: \[ y = \frac{x}{0.9} = \frac{x \times 10}{9} = \frac{10x}{9} \] ### Step 4: Finding y as a percentage of x Now, we need to express y as a percentage of x. The formula for percentage is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100\% \] Here, y is the part and x is the whole. Thus, we have: \[ \text{Percentage of } x = \left( \frac{y}{x} \right) \times 100\% \] Substituting the value of y: \[ \text{Percentage of } x = \left( \frac{\frac{10x}{9}}{x} \right) \times 100\% \] ### Step 5: Simplifying the percentage calculation This simplifies to: \[ \text{Percentage of } x = \left( \frac{10}{9} \right) \times 100\% \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Percentage of } x = \frac{1000}{9} \approx 111.1\% \] ### Conclusion Thus, y is approximately \( 111.1\% \) of x. ### Final Answer The answer is \( 111.1\% \). ---
