70.99 is what percent of 4896 - 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 4896 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 4896, so we can write it down as 100%=4896.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4896
2) x%=70.99
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%=4896/70.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.99 is what percent of 4896

100%/x%=4896/70.99
(100/x)*x=(4896/70.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.967460205663*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.967460205663) to get x
100/68.967460205663=x
1.4499591503268=x
x=1.4499591503268

now we have:
70.99 is 1.4499591503268% of 4896
