3/4 is 70% of what number​, Let the number is x:

So, the expression will be :

70% of x = 3/4


\begin{gathered} \text{ 70\% of x = }(3)/(4) \\ (70* x)/(100)=(3)/(4) \\ 70x=(3)/(4)*100 \\ x=(3*100)/(4*70) \\ x=(300)/(280) \\ x=(30)/(28) \\ x=(15)/(14) \\ x=1.07142 \end{gathered}

x = 1.07142

The number is 1.07142
