We assign the scalar tetraquark and the D-wave tetraquark state for $X\left(4700\right)$ and calculate the width of the decay $X\left(4700\right)$ $\to J/\psi \varphi$ within the framework of light-cone sum rules. The strong coupling $g_{XJ/\psi \varphi }$ is obtained by considering the technique of soft-meson approximation. We also investigate the mass and the decay constant of $X\left(4700\right)$ in the framework of SVZ sum rules. Our prediction for the mass is in agreement with the experimental measurement. For the decay width of $X\left(4700\right)\to J/\psi \varphi$, if we assigns X(4700) as a scalar $cs\overline{c}\overline{s}$ tetraquark state, we obtain $\Gamma =\left({109}_{-24}^{+35}\right)$ MeV. On the contrary, if X(4700) is assigned as a D-wave tetraquark state, we obtain $\Gamma =\left({17.1}_{-4.0}^{+6.2}\right)$ MeV which is much smaller than the scalar one.
