Answer:
37.84
Explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 185 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=185.
Step 4: In the same vein, x%=70.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=185(1).
x%=70(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100% / x% = 185 / 70
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x% / 100% = 70/185
---> = 37.84%
Therefore, 70 is 37.84% of 185.
