Question

98 is 35% of what number

Answer 1

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

35% can also be written as 35/100

$98 = \frac{35}{100} \times x\\\\98 \times \frac{100}{35} = x\\\\ x = \frac{9800}{35}\\\\x = \boxed{\bf{280}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 280

Explanation:

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

We are given that:

35% of the number is 98

This means that:

35% * x = 98

0.35x = 98

x = $\frac{98}{0.35}$

x = 280
