70 is 60% of a whole. In order to find the whole we must divide.
turn 60% to a decimal (move the decimal two spaces to the left: 0.6) then divide 70/0.6 and that equals 116.6, but obviously we can't split up a person so we have to round down to the nearest whole which is 116.
so, 70 is 60% of the whole 116.
to check your answer, you can do 116*0.6 which equals 70.
