To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 349.866 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 349.866, so we can write it down as 100%=349.866.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=349.866
2) x%=70.68
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%=349.866/70.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.68 is what percent of 349.866

100%/x%=349.866/70.68
(100/x)*x=(349.866/70.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.95*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.95) to get x
100/4.95=x
20.20202020202=x
x=20.20202020202

now we have:
70.68 is 20.20202020202% of 349.866
