Answer:

50

Explanation:

So 17.5 is 35% of the number. This means we have to find 100%. We can do that by first finding 1% of the number. Since we have 35%, we can just divide by its number:

100%=x

35%=17.5

1%= 17.5/35=0.5 (think of it like this, we take the percentage to the other side).

100%= 100 × 0.5= 50

So if I ask you that there were 56 jumps in 2 seconds and I ask you to find how many jumps happened in one second what would you do? You would divide the jumps by the seconds 56/2=28 jumps right? Same here we find 1% like finding jumps in one second and if I tell you how many jumps in 100 second what would you do? Yould wultiply the 1 second jump with 100, 28 × 100= 280 jumps since 28, 28, 28, 28, 28,... reapeted 100 times!
