70.8 is what percent of 94.79 - 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 94.79 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 94.79, so we can write it down as 100%=94.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.79
2) x%=70.8
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%=94.79/70.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.8 is what percent of 94.79

100%/x%=94.79/70.8
(100/x)*x=(94.79/70.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3388418079096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3388418079096) to get x
100/1.3388418079096=x
74.691423145901=x
x=74.691423145901

now we have:
70.8 is 74.691423145901% of 94.79
