9.99 is what percent of 70.36 - 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 70.36 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 70.36, so we can write it down as 100%=70.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70.36
2) x%=9.99
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%=70.36/9.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.99 is what percent of 70.36

100%/x%=70.36/9.99
(100/x)*x=(70.36/9.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.043043043043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.043043043043) to get x
100/7.043043043043=x
14.19840818647=x
x=14.19840818647

now we have:
9.99 is 14.19840818647% of 70.36
