70 is what percent of 100000000 - 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 100000000 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 100000000, so we can write it down as 100%=100000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 70 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100000000
2) x%=70
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%=100000000/70
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70 is what percent of 100000000

100%/x%=100000000/70
(100/x)*x=(100000000/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1428571.4285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1428571.4285714) to get x
100/1428571.4285714=x
7.0E-5=x
x=7.0E-5

now we have:
70 is 7.0E-5% of 100000000
