10.05 is what percent of 70 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 70 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 70, so we can write it down as 100%=70.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70
2) x%=10.05
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=70/10.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.05 is what percent of 70

100%/x%=70/10.05
(100/x)*x=(70/10.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9651741293532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9651741293532) to get x
100/6.9651741293532=x
14.357142857143=x
x=14.357142857143

now we have:
10.05 is 14.357142857143% of 70
