70 is what percent of 3.284 - 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 3.284 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 3.284, so we can write it down as 100%=3.284.
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%=3.284
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%=3.284/70
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 3.284

100%/x%=3.284/70
(100/x)*x=(3.284/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.046914285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.046914285714286) to get x
100/0.046914285714286=x
2131.5468940317=x
x=2131.5468940317

now we have:
70 is 2131.5468940317% of 3.284
