70.3 is what percent of 2496 - 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 2496 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 2496, so we can write it down as 100%=2496.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2496
2) x%=70.3
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%=2496/70.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.3 is what percent of 2496

100%/x%=2496/70.3
(100/x)*x=(2496/70.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.504978662873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.504978662873) to get x
100/35.504978662873=x
2.8165064102564=x
x=2.8165064102564

now we have:
70.3 is 2.8165064102564% of 2496
