Given the equation:

9.97x > 100

Solution:

In order to determine the smallest positive integer that can be multiplied by 9.97 to get a product greater than 100, we simply need to solve for x, base on the inequality given. To do so, we divide both sides of the equation by 9.97.

9.97x/9.97 > 100/9.97

x > 10.031

Final answer:

= 10.031
