70 is what percent of 12284 - 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 12284 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 12284, so we can write it down as 100%=12284.
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%=12284
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%=12284/70
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 12284

100%/x%=12284/70
(100/x)*x=(12284/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=175.48571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (175.48571428571) to get x
100/175.48571428571=x
0.56984695538912=x
x=0.56984695538912

now we have:
70 is 0.56984695538912% of 12284
