Answer 2

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the number be x

• Given:
  35% of x = 70
• First find the number, the value of x
  0.35x = 70                (35% = 35/100 = 0.35)
  x = 70/0.35
  x = 200

• Then find 20% of x
  20% of 200               (20% = 20/100 = 020)
  = 0.2 x 200
  = 40
