### Divisional Math Olympiad, Dhaka-2016,primary, ques. 7

x is a two-digit positive number and y is a three digit positive number
The values of x and y is such that if x is added by y % and if y is subtracted by x %, the result will be the same
How many numbers can be replaced with x or y such that the above statement is true???

The condition gives us the equation $x+\frac{y}{100}=y-\frac{x}{100}$. Then prove that $x=99$.

I didn't understand why are we taking $99$ to prove the problem

Because $x$ has the only value $99$.
