Answer 5

We need to translate this word problem into a math equation and solve the equation.

In math, "is" means an equal sign.
"What" is an unknown, so we can use x.
"Percent" means divide by 100.
"Of" means times.

Forty-two is what percent of 70? <--- English
42 = x /100 * 70 <--- Math

You have this equation:

\(42 = \dfrac{x}{100} \times 70\)

\(42 = \dfrac{70x}{100} \)

\(4200 = 70x\)

\(70x = 4200\)

\(x = 60\)

Answer: 42 is 60% of 70.
