SMART PEOPLE PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER THIS

40% ⋅ x = 35

x = 87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation representing this situation, use the key words. 40% stays 40%. "Of" is the same as multiplication. "X" remains "x". "Is" is the same as equal to. 35 remains 35. So, the new equation you get is: 40% ⋅ x = 35.

To solve for "x", first turn the 40% into a decimal: 0.4. Now divide 0.4 from both sides to get: x = 87.5.

Note:

The dot "⋅", stands for the multiplication sign. I'm not using the "x" symbol for it because there is a variable x in the equation already.

Hope it helps!
