Question

40% of x is 35. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

40/x=35

Remember, what you do to one side, you must to the other and so, you multiply both sides by x

40=35x

Now, you have to get x on its own and to do so, you divide by 35 on both sides because x is multiplied by 35.

40/35= x

Now the task is to simply, to get a final answer, and the answer is (with a calculator to 3sf) 1.14

hope this helps you
