What is 70 percent of 65000 - 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 65000 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 65000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 65000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 65000=100%
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:
65000/x=100%/70%
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 70% of 65000

65000/x=100/70
(65000/x)*x=(100/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65000=1.42857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.42857142857) to get x
65000/1.42857142857=x
45500=x
x=45500

now we have:
70% of 65000=45500
