Solution:

In order to determine the number, we simply need to divide 45 by the decimal value of 70%. To do so we must first convert 70% to decimal.  In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

= 70/100

= 0.7

= 45/0.7
