12.5 percent of what number is 35?

Answer 1

To find the number, you can set up the equation 0.125x = 35, where x represents the unknown number. To solve for x, you would divide both sides by 0.125, giving you x = 35 / 0.125. Calculating this, you get x = 280. Therefore, 12.5 percent of 280 is 35.

Answer 2

The unknown number, x, satisfies the following equation: 12.5% * x = 35

Recall that 1% = 0.01

Rearrange the equation. x = 35 / 0.125 = 280

Answer 3
