What is 27.971 percent of 70 - 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 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 70 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.971% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.971%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 70=100%
2) x=27.971%
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:
70/x=100%/27.971%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 27.971% of 70

70/x=100/27.971
(70/x)*x=(100/27.971)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70=3.5751313860784*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5751313860784) to get x
70/3.5751313860784=x
19.5797=x
x=19.5797

now we have:
27.971% of 70=19.5797
