Question

35% of ____ = $3.50 find the unknown number​

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

35% of x = 3.50

35/100 * x = 3.50

35x = 3.50 * 100

35x = 350

x = 350/35

x = 10

Hence, the unknown number is 10.

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

35% of x = 3.5 To change a percent to a decimal, divide by 100%

.35x = 3.5 Divide both sides by 3.5

`(.35x)/(.35)` =
`(3.5)/(.35)`

x = 10

Check:

.35 x 10 = 3.3.5 = 3.5
