Hey there!


\text{35 is 28\% of what \# ?}


\bold{Equation: y = \% * \ \# }


\bold{We\ should\ now\ start\ looking\ for\ your\ unknown\ number}


\bold{\# =(y)/(\%)}


\bold{y=35}


\%=28


\bold{\#=(35)/(28\%)}


\text{Convert 28\% to decimal}


\bold{28\% =(28\%)/(100)=0.28}


\bold{New\ equation: (35)/(0.28)}


\bold{Simplify\ the\ one\ above\ and\ you\ have\ your\ mystery\ number}\uparrow


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer: 125}}}\checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
