Thirty-five percent of what number is 14?

Answer 1

of "x", that means, that number "x" is the 100% and 14 is some percentage of that, and its numerical value is 14

so
`\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ x&100\\ 14&35 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{100}{35}`

solve for "x"
