i need help solving the equation 63% of what number is 35?

i do not know how to solve this question..

 

Answer 1

63% of what number is 35 ?

percentage=rate*base

p=r*b

percentage="is"

base="of"

rate="%"

35=63%*b

35=0.63*b

divide both sides by 0.63

35/0.63=b

3500/63=b

b=55.555...

or,...

b=55 35/63=55 5/9

Answer 2

(63/100)x=35

x = 100*35/63

x = 55.55
