If you take 35% off you are left with (100-35) = 65%
So 65% of x is 700
(x/100)*65 = 700
Now rearrange to make x the subject
x/100 = 700/65
x = (700/65)*100
x = 1076.923

Ok, 700 is 65%. X is 100% - 35% = 65%.
The solution is: 700 / 65 x 100 = 1076.92
x = 1076.92
Try to find out what 1% is and then multiply by 100.

First, if you take away 35% you will be left with 65%.
So, 65% of x is 700
translate to algebra is as follows;
[ (65/100)x = 700 ]
[ 65x/100 = 700 ]
[ 65x = 70000 ]
[ x = 1076.92 ]

Taking 35% off of a number is different than taking 35% of a number.
here is the setup if you are subtracting 35% of x from the number x and are left with 700
x - 0.35x = 700
0.65x = 700
0.65x/0.65 = 700/0.65
x = 1076.9
here is the setup if 35% of x = 700
0.35x=700
0.35x/0.35=700/0.35
x= 2000

x - 35% x = 700
100% x - 35% x = 700
65% x = 700
65x/100 = 700
65 x = 700 x 100
65 x = 70,000
x = 70,000 /65
x = 1,076.923

35%=.35
.35x=700
divide both sides by .35
x=700/.35=2000

x - 35/100x =700 => 65x=70000 => x=1076,9

35x/100 = 700
35x = 70000
x = 2000
