How much is 70 percent of two tenths

How to work out percentages - Step by Step

Here are the solutions to the questions stated above:

1) What is 70% of 2/10?

Always use this formula to find a percentage:

^% / ₁₀₀ = ^Part / _Whole replace the given values:

⁷⁰ / ₁₀₀ = ^Part / _2/10

Cross multiply:

70 x 2/10 = 100 x Part, or

14 = 100 x Part

Now, divide by 100 and get the answer:

Part = ¹⁴ / ₁₀₀ = 1.4

2) 70 is what percent of 2/10?

Use again the same percentage formula:

^% / ₁₀₀ = ^Part / _Whole replace the given values:

^% / ₁₀₀ = ⁷⁰ / _2/10

Cross multiply:

% x 2/10 = 70 x 100

Divide by 2/10 and get the percentage:

% = ^{70 x 100} / _2/10 = 35000%
