We know that 100% of a number, is the number itself. In order to find out 112 is 35% of what number, we can create a simple ratio to find this unknown X number.
So if 35% of X is 112,
Then 100% of X is X.
Cross multiply to create the equations, 35 times x equal to 100 times 112,
35x = 100*112
35x=11200
Divide both sides with 35.
35x/35 = 11200/35
x=320 is the number
