Answer: 70

Step-by-step explanation: To find the answer to this problem, let's first translate the question into an equation. We need to change 70% to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left so we will get .70 or .7. Next, we have "of what number" that means times x. The rest of the work is attached in image.

Hello!

To find out 49 is 70% of what number, we must use the formula. Simply multiply 49 by 100, and then divide that by 70:

49 * 100 / 70 = 70

So, 49 is 70% of 70.
