70 is what percent of 163000 - 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 163000 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 163000, so we can write it down as 100%=163000.
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%=163000
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%=163000/70
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 163000

100%/x%=163000/70
(100/x)*x=(163000/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2328.5714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2328.5714285714) to get x
100/2328.5714285714=x
0.042944785276074=x
x=0.042944785276074

now we have:
70 is 0.042944785276074% of 163000
