To find the total number of campers at the camp, you can set up a proportion. You know that 35% of the campers went on the hike, and this is equal to 35 campers.

Let "x" be the total number of campers:

35% of x = 35

To solve for "x," you can divide both sides of the equation by 35% (or 0.35):

x = 35 / 0.35

x = 100

Therefore, the total number of campers at the camp is 100.
