Integer's Uncle likes to eat oranges, and what he doesn't eat he sells. Last week he sold 99 oranges, which is 37% more than what he ate. How many oranges did Integer's Uncle eat last week?
let what he ate be 'x'
then 99 is 37% more than x, so 99 is 137% of x,
99 = 1.37x, x = 99/1.37 = 72.263... = 72 to the nearest whole number
