70 is what percent of 228830 - 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 228830 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 228830, so we can write it down as 100%=228830.
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%=228830
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%=228830/70
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 228830

100%/x%=228830/70
(100/x)*x=(228830/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3269*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3269) to get x
100/3269=x
0.030590394616091=x
x=0.030590394616091

now we have:
70 is 0.030590394616091% of 228830
