70 is what percent of 681.17 - 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 681.17 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 681.17, so we can write it down as 100%=681.17.
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%=681.17
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%=681.17/70
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 681.17

100%/x%=681.17/70
(100/x)*x=(681.17/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.731*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.731) to get x
100/9.731=x
10.276436131949=x
x=10.276436131949

now we have:
70 is 10.276436131949% of 681.17
