Say you wanted to give someone 35000 berries, but every time you give someone berries, it takes away 30%. How could you calculate the exact amount of berries you would need to give someone 35000 berries.

Answer:

What I understand is that I need to give someone an exact number so that when 30% is taken, they keep exactly 35,000

To make the statement above true, we would need to divide 35,000 by 7 since the answer would be 10% of the number we need. Once we do this we get 5000 which is 10% now we multiply 5000 by 10 to get 100% and we get 50.000 once we give this amount to the person and 30% is taken away they are left with 35,000
