What is 57.75 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 57.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 70=100%
2) x=57.75%
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%/57.75%
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 57.75% of 70

70/x=100/57.75
(70/x)*x=(100/57.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70=1.7316017316017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7316017316017) to get x
70/1.7316017316017=x
40.425=x
x=40.425

now we have:
57.75% of 70=40.425
