    The number of students surveyed in total is 1,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We start by saying, let the total number of people surveyed be x, since we do not know exactly the number.

    What we know from the question however is that 35% of this x makes up the value of 350 of the respondents.

    Hence, mathematically, we have;

    35/100 * x = 350

    35x = 100 * 350

    35x = 35,000

    x = 35,000/35

    x = 1,000 students
