In order to find out what percent of 80 is 56, then we can create a simple ratio. We know that 100% of a number is the number itself. The unknown percentage will call it X.

If 100% of  80 is 80,

Then X % of 80 is 56.

Cross multiply in order to create the equation, 100 times 56 is equal to 80 times x.

80x=100*56

80x=5600

Divide both sides with 80.

80x/80 =5600/80

x=70
