(b) 35% of what number is 14?

Answer 1

what is the answer

Answer 2

(a) To find 85% of 80, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} \times \text{Whole} = \text{Part}
\]

So,

\[
0.85 \times 80 = 68
\]

Therefore, 85% of 80 is **68**.

(b) To find what number 35% of it equals 14, you can set up the equation:

\[
0.35 \times x = 14
\]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.35:

\[
x = \frac{14}{0.35} = 40
\]

Therefore, 35% of **40** is 14.
