Determine what number's 35% is 70.

Solution:

In order to find the missing number, we simply divide the decimal value of percentage to 70. Hence, we must convert 35% first to decimal.  In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

= 35/100

= 0.35

= 70/.35

= 200

Final answer:

70 is 35% of 200.
