Explanation:

Step1: Set up percent proportion

Let the unknown number be $x$. The percent proportion is $\frac{24.94}{x} = \frac{29}{100}$

Step2: Solve for $x$

Rearrange to $x = \frac{24.94 \times 100}{29}$
Calculate: $x = \frac{2494}{29} = 86$

Step1: Set up percent proportion

Let the percent be $p$. The proportion is $\frac{35}{140} = \frac{p}{100}$

Step2: Solve for $p$

Simplify $\frac{35}{140} = 0.25$, then $p = 0.25 \times 100 = 25$

Step1: Convert percent to decimal

$175\% = \frac{175}{100} = 1.75$

Step2: Calculate April savings

Multiply by March amount: $40 \times 1.75 = 70$

Answer:

1. $86$
2. $25$
3. $\$70$
