70 is what percent of 4.49 - 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 4.49 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 4.49, so we can write it down as 100%=4.49.
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%=4.49
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%=4.49/70
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 4.49

100%/x%=4.49/70
(100/x)*x=(4.49/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.064142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.064142857142857) to get x
100/0.064142857142857=x
1559.0200445434=x
x=1559.0200445434

now we have:
70 is 1559.0200445434% of 4.49
