Answer :

answer= x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 35% × x = 7

or,  

35

100

× x = 7

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 35,

we have x = 7 ×  

100

35

x = 20

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 7×100÷35, which will give you the answer.

X=20 hope this helps!
