0.56 is what percent of 0.706 - 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 0.706 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 0.706, so we can write it down as 100%=0.706.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.706
2) x%=0.56
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%=0.706/0.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.56 is what percent of 0.706

100%/x%=0.706/0.56
(100/x)*x=(0.706/0.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2607142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2607142857143) to get x
100/1.2607142857143=x
79.320113314448=x
x=79.320113314448

now we have:
0.56 is 79.320113314448% of 0.706
