35 is 60% of what number is question.
I tried taking 10% chunks, so 3.5 and multiplying by 6. That was wrong. Help?
Let the number be =N, so we have:
60% of N = 35
60/100 x N = 35
0.60 x N = 35 divide both sides by 0.60
N =35 / 0.60
N =58 1/3

Guest has given you a nice algebraic answer. You should get comfortable with it.
BUT
I will talk you through a more intuiteve method.
3.5 is 10% of 60%
so 3.5 is 6% not 10%
\(35 \;\; \quad is \;\; \quad 60\%\\ so\\ \frac{35}{6}\;\; \quad is \;\; \quad \frac{60\%} { 6}\\ \frac{35}{6}\;\; \quad is \;\; 10\%\\ \frac{35}{6}*10\;\;\quad is \;\; \quad 10\%*10\\ 58\frac{1}{3}\;\;\quad is \;\; \quad 100\%\\\)
