Answer:

It's technically the same thing, because if we solve both of these the answer would be same.

First one says 70 percent part of 7 and the other one says 7 percent part of 70. However, if we solve both of these the answer will be same:

i) 70% of 7

= (70/100) × 7

= 4.9 answer

ii) 7% of 70

= (7/100) × 70

= 4.9 answer

So, here as you can see, through both the equations we get the same answer, which is 4.9 .

This is one of the basic principles of multiplication actually, where:

a × b = c

b × a = c

Therefore,

a × b = b × a

Hope that helps...
