70.7 is what percent of 920 - 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 920 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 920, so we can write it down as 100%=920.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=920
2) x%=70.7
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%=920/70.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.7 is what percent of 920

100%/x%=920/70.7
(100/x)*x=(920/70.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.012729844413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.012729844413) to get x
100/13.012729844413=x
7.6847826086957=x
x=7.6847826086957

now we have:
70.7 is 7.6847826086957% of 920
