70 is what percent of 24950 - 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 24950 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 24950, so we can write it down as 100%=24950.
4. We know, that x% equals 70 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24950
2) x%=70
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%=24950/70
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70 is what percent of 24950

100%/x%=24950/70
(100/x)*x=(24950/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=356.42857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (356.42857142857) to get x
100/356.42857142857=x
0.28056112224449=x
x=0.28056112224449

now we have:
70 is 0.28056112224449% of 24950
