3.34 is what percent of 70.17 - 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 70.17 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 70.17, so we can write it down as 100%=70.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70.17
2) x%=3.34
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%=70.17/3.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.34 is what percent of 70.17

100%/x%=70.17/3.34
(100/x)*x=(70.17/3.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.008982035928*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.008982035928) to get x
100/21.008982035928=x
4.759868889839=x
x=4.759868889839

now we have:
3.34 is 4.759868889839% of 70.17
