5.07 is what percent of 70.94 - 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 70.94 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 70.94, so we can write it down as 100%=70.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70.94
2) x%=5.07
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%=70.94/5.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.07 is what percent of 70.94

100%/x%=70.94/5.07
(100/x)*x=(70.94/5.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.992110453649*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.992110453649) to get x
100/13.992110453649=x
7.1468846912884=x
x=7.1468846912884

now we have:
5.07 is 7.1468846912884% of 70.94
