Question

140% of what number is 35? ( simplify your answer. type a whole number or a decimal)

Answer 1

Let be "x" the number that is represented with 100%.

According to the information given in the exercise, 140% of the number "x" is:

`35`

Then, knowing that information, you can set up the following proportion:

`(35)/(140)=(x)/(100)`

Finally, you can solve for "x". You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 100:

`\begin{gathered} (100)((35)/(140))=((x)/(100))(100) \\ \\ (3500)/(140)=x \\ \\ x=25 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is:

`25`
