35 Percent of 70 is 24.5
We assume, that the number 70 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 70 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70=100%. We know, that x is 35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35%. Now we have two simple equations: 1.)70=100% 2.)x=35%where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that: 70/x=100%/35% Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
