You write it as 70% because a percent is 1 whole

0.7 = 0.7*100% = 70%

100% = 1. You can multiply or divide by it without changing the value of a number.

If 0.7 = 70%
then 1 = 100%
2=200%
25=250%
Is that right?
But from what total did we calculate the percentage?

Most people only see percentages in the context of a percentage *of* something. Writing a number as a percentage is just another way of writing a number. The symbol "%" is just a shorthand way of writing "/100" (per hundred). 70/100 = 70%. It is that simple.
You are correct that 1 = 100%, 2 = 200%, 25 = 2500%. If you *must* have some total to think of this as being a percentage *of*, then use 1 unit as your total. 2 units is 200% of 1 unit, for example.
