    60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There were x number of snowstorms. Some caused power outages and others did not. 35% of x caused outages. 100% - 35% = 65%. 65% of x did not cause outages. 39 storms did not cause outages, so 65% of x equals 39.

    65% * x = 39

    0.65x = 39

    x = 39/0.65

    x = 60
