$140%$ of $250$ is $350$ .

$140%$ of what number is $350$ is equivalent to

$140/100$ of what number is $350$ .

Let the number be $x$ , then

$140/100×x=350$ or

$x=350×100/140$ or dividing by $20$

$x=350×(5cancel100)/(7cancel140$ and now dividing by $7$

$x=(50cancel7)×5/(cancel7)$

or $x=50×5=250$ i.e.

$140%$ of $250$ is $350$ .
