snowflake0531:

umm, yes there is a percent, 14% but anyways it would be, since it is 14% of the total = 70 it is 0.14x=70 can you find x

Rylee88:

x?

snowflake0531:

yes, find x

KazGotFetee:

14% of 70 is 9.8 so 9.8 x 70= 686 i may be wrong but here ya go.

snowflake0531:

the equation is not x equals something it's 0.14 of x = 70

snowflake0531:

Rylee88:
