I am not able to solve the question. Please help me soon!

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???


[[If I have any problem with my question , please let me know ; I will edit soon]]]

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 $99$.

Solve.
X = 99 and Y = 100
Because,
x*y% = 99*100% = 99 and y*x% = 100*99% = 99

Sorry, my answer was wrong. Can you solve this?

Solution
$X=99$ & $Y=100$
$X×Y\%=99×100\%=99$ and
$Y×X\%=100×99\%=99$
