  1. Answer:

    Part A : 330

    Part B: 600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For the first part, you need to turn the 30% into a decimal which means dividing by 100

    that makes it 0.3

    99 ÷ 0.3

    you can do long division and make it easier by turning the decimal into a whole number. 0.3 × 10 = 3

    but because you did 0.3 × 10 to get 3, you also have to × 10 to the 99 which makes it 990

    [tex]\frac{990}{3}[/tex]

    Once you divide 990 with 3, you get 330

    now you have to do 330 ÷ 55%

    you do the same thing and turn the 55% into a decimal

    once you do that, you get 0.55

    do the same thing again and turn the decimal into a whole number

    you have to do 0.55 × 100, you get 55

    you also have to do 330 × 100 in where you get 33000

    long division again [tex]\frac{33000}{55}[/tex]

    you can do 55 × 6 which gets you 330

    now you only have 00

    you add the 00s to 6

    and you get 600

    (i am so sorry i think this explanation is a bit confusing)
