What is 8.89 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 8.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 70=100%
2) x=8.89%
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%/8.89%
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 8.89% of 70

70/x=100/8.89
(70/x)*x=(100/8.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70=11.248593925759*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.248593925759) to get x
70/11.248593925759=x
6.223=x
x=6.223

now we have:
8.89% of 70=6.223
