#70%# of #140# is #98#

This is easier to understand if we ask it differently.

#98# is #70%# of which number?

Method 1 - use direct proportion

You know how much #70%# is, find #100%#

#98/70 = x/100" "(larr"number")/(larr"percent")#

#x = (98xx100)/70#

#x=140#

Method 2 - write an equation.

'#70%# of a number is #98#'

#70/100 xx x = 98#

#x = 98 xx100/70#

#x=140#
