\frac{10}{x}=\frac{2.99}{100}
Divide both sides by 100.
\frac{10}{x}=\frac{299}{10000}
Expand \frac{2.99}{100} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
10000\times 10=299x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 10000x, the least common multiple of x,10000.
100000=299x
Multiply 10000 and 10 to get 100000.
299x=100000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{100000}{299}
Divide both sides by 299.
