Answer:

87.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the required number,

Then 20% of x = \(\frac{20x}{100}\) = 0.20x

According to the question,

20% of x = 35

\(\implies 0.20x = 35\)

Divide both sides by 0.20

\(x=175\)

Thus, the required number is 175,

Now, 50% of 175 = \(\frac{50\times 175}{100}\)

\(=\frac{8750}{100}\)

\(=87.50\)
