mass of water = 98.44 - 35.00 = 63.44g 
water has a density of 1000g/L 
Volume of bottle = 63.44/1000 = .06344L 
mass of other liquid = 88.78-35 = 53.78g 
density of other liquid = 53.78g/0.06344L = 847.73g/L 
Considering that water has a specific gravity of 1, establish a relationship. 1000/847.73 =1/sg 
sg=.85
