70.59 is what percent of 56.25 - 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 56.25 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 56.25, so we can write it down as 100%=56.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=56.25
2) x%=70.59
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%=56.25/70.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.59 is what percent of 56.25

100%/x%=56.25/70.59
(100/x)*x=(56.25/70.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.79685507862303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.79685507862303) to get x
100/0.79685507862303=x
125.49333333333=x
x=125.49333333333

now we have:
70.59 is 125.49333333333% of 56.25
