full tank ---- x gallons
.35x = 28
x = 28/.35 = 80 gallons
.35x = 28
x = 28/.35 = 80 gallons

i was not sure if forgot the 0 at the end or not so i just gave the answer with the 0 if the ? did not require a 0 just take the 0 away at the end
mathhelper

does 800 seem like a logical answer ?

trust me:
35% of 80
= 35/100*80 = 28
35% of 800
= 35/100*800 = 280 , so 800 is incorrect
35% of 80
= 35/100*80 = 28
35% of 800
= 35/100*800 = 280 , so 800 is incorrect
