70002.39 is what percent of 157000 - 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 157000 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 157000, so we can write it down as 100%=157000.
4. We know, that x% equals 70002.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70002.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=157000
2) x%=70002.39
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%=157000/70002.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70002.39 is what percent of 157000

(100/x)*x=(157000/70002.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2427805679206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2427805679206) to get x
100/2.2427805679206=x
44.58750955414=x
x=44.58750955414

now we have:
