Answer 2

Question given :

20% of a number is 35. What is that number?

Required answer :

Let the number be x . As given that 20% of x is 35

So according to the statement we have ,

• $\sf\dfrac{20}{100}\:of\:x\:=\:35$

• $\sf\dfrac{20}{100}\:\times\:x\:=\:35$

• $\sf\dfrac{20}{100}\:x\:=\:35$

• Reduce the fraction with table of 20

• $\sf\dfrac{1}{5}\:x\:=\:35$

• x = 35 × 5

• x = 175

So therefore the number is 175

Verification :

• $\sf\dfrac{20}{100}\:\times\:175$

• Reduce the fraction with table of 20

• $\sf\dfrac{1}{5}\:\times\:175$

• Reduce the terms with table of 5

• 35

Hence verified
