Question

14 is 35% of what number?
(Please explain and/or show work)
Thanks☺️

Answer 1

it is 40
14=0.35
divide both sides by 0.35
14/0.35=40
14 is 35% of 40

Answer 2

'is' is an equal sign
35% = 35/100 = 0.35
'of' is multiplication
'what number' is 'x'

So we have:


`\sf14=0.35\cdot~\!\!\!\!~x`

Multiply:


`\sf14=0.35x`

Divide 0.35 to both sides:


`\sf~x=40`
