If you would like to know how many total houses will the company clean by the end of the week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x = ? ... the total number of houses

40% of x is 28

40% * x = 28

40/100 * x = 28 / * 100/40

x = 28 * 100 / 40

x = 70 houses

Result: The company will clean 70 houses by the end of the week.
