Answer:
24.5
Step-by-step explanation:
35% can be broken down into 10% + 10% + 10% + 5%
To find 10% of 70, divide 70 by 10.
To divide a number by 10, move the decimal point 1 place to the left.
⇒ 70 ÷ 10 = 7
So 10% = 7
5% is half of 10%
⇒ 5% = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5
Therefore,
10% + 10% + 10% + 5% = 7 + 7 + 7 + 3.5
= 21 + 3.5
= 24.5
