What is 35 percent of 70

35 Percent of 70 is 24.5

We assume, that the number 70 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 70 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70=100%. We know, that x is 35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35%. Now we have two simple equations: 1.) 70=100% 2.) x=35% 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%/35% Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

To me, the best thing to do first is translate the question into math,

so that you can work with it.

- - "What" means "x "

- - "is" means " = "·

- - "percent" means " / 100"

- - "of" means "times"

Translated into math, the question says:

x = 35/100 · 70

Clean up the right side of the equation and simplify it:

x = (35 · 70) / 100

x = 2450 / 100

x = 24.5
