70 is what percent of 23000000 - 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 23000000 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 23000000, so we can write it down as 100%=23000000.
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%=23000000
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%=23000000/70
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 23000000

100%/x%=23000000/70
(100/x)*x=(23000000/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=328571.42857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (328571.42857143) to get x
100/328571.42857143=x
0.00030434782608696=x
x=0.00030434782608696

now we have:
70 is 0.00030434782608696% of 23000000
