Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose x percent of Bill's salary is equal to Jacks's salary.

Thus, we can write

x% of 87.50 = 70

Mathematically, we can write this as

[tex]0.0x\times87.50=70[/tex]

Solve the equation for x

[tex]0.0x=\frac{70}{87.50}\\\\x=\frac{70}{87.50}\times100\\\\x=80[/tex]

Therefore, Jack's salary is 80% of Bill's salary
