There are at least 2 very different ways to do a question like this.

Method 1
Let x be the number that you are looking for
x / 0.3% = 6.6 / 9%

x = 6.6 / 9% * 0.3%

x = 6.6 / 9 * 0.3

x = 0.22
----------------------
Method 2
9% is 6.6
1% is 6.6/9
0.1% is 6.6/9 divided by 10
0.3% is 6.6/9 divided by 10 * 3
0.3% is 0.22

If you are comfortable with algebra, I think the first way is better.
