#10%#

If #$90# is #100%#, then #$9# would be #10%#.

This is because:

#$90# is #100%# because this is the total.
#$9# is #x%#

You can see that the #$9# is a tenth of the total value of #$90#, i.e:

#($90)/($10)=$9#

Therefore, the fraction of #1/10# is equivalent to #0.1# and this is the decimal representation of the percentage of #10%#.

#10%#

To determine what percentage one quantity is of another you can use the method:

#"fraction" xx 100%#

IN this case:

#9/90 xx100%#

#=1/10 xx100%#

#=10%#
