Answer 1

Answer: 70% of what number is 56, we can translate this problem into mathematics as follows:

$\frac{70}{100}x=56\rightarrow(1)$

The answer is the solution to equation (1) which is as follows:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{70}{100}x=56 \\ \\ x=\frac{56\times100}{70}=80 \\ \\ x=80 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{70}{100}x=56 \\ \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{56\times100}{70}=80 \\ \\ \\ x=80 \end{gathered}$

Testing this number:

$\frac{70}{100}\times80=56\rightarrow\text{ Correct}$

Therefore 70% of 80 is 56.
