We assume, that the number 35 is 100% cause it's the output value of the task, X is the value that we are looking for if 35 is 100% then, we can write it down like thiss ↓

35= 100%

we know, that x is 140% of the output value, so we can write it down as↓

x= 140% which leads use to 2 simple equations now

35= 100%
x= 140%

where left side of both of them have the same units so, we can do something likee that ↓

35/x= 100%/140% now we have to solve the equation

35/x= 100/140
(35/x)·x= (100/140)·x
multiply both sides of the equation by x
35= 0.714285714286·x
divide both sides of the equation by
(0.714285714286) to get x
35/0.714285714286= x
which would be

49= x
x= 49

now we are here - 140% of 35= 49, THERE's YOUR ANSWER IK ITS LENGTHY BUT THATS ALL THE STEPS TO HELP U . HAVE GREAT DAY
