98 is 35% of what number
'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:
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
Hope this helps :)
