Translate to a proportion and solve what 76% of 70

You would put 76% of 70 into the proportion method (%/100=is/of).

Okay. What we would have to do is set up a proportion with the x being over 70 and 76 being over 100. It would look like this: x/70 = 76/100. Cross multiply the values to get 100x = 5320. Now, divide each side by 100 to isolate the "x". When you do, you get 53.2. x = 53.2. There. 76% of 70 is 53.2.
