Question

Fill in the missing number. 70% of = 70 Submit

Answer 1

Explanation:

you mean

70% of x = 70

right ?

you know that the "whole" is represented by 100% ?

this is easy here, but in general, when in doubt, find either 100%, calculate 1% as 100%/100 and find the desired %, or you find 1% directly and calculate the needed % (incl. 100%) out of this.

so, we know, 70% = 70

that means

1% = 70%/70 = 70/70 = 1

and then

100% = 1%×100 = 1×100 = 100

so,

70% of 100 = 70

now you see, why I said this is easy in this case here. because % and the absolute numbers have the same units. so, this goes 1:1.

Answer 2

100

Explanation:

70 % is .7 in decimal

.7 * x = 70 divide both sides by .7

x = 100
