Question

98 is 35% of what number

Answer 1

The number is 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

We are given that:

35% of the number is 98

This means that:

35% * x = 98

0.35x = 98

x =
`(98)/(0.35)`

x = 280

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

35% can also be written as 35/100


`98 = (35)/(100) * x\\\\98 * (100)/(35) = x\\\\ x = (9800)/(35)\\\\x = \boxed{\bf{280}}`
