Question

`35% " of " 350` is what number?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "`%`" means "out of 100" or "per 100".

Therefore `35%` can be written as `35/100`.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Finally, lets call the number we are looking for "`n`".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for `n` while keeping the equation balanced:

`n = 35/100 xx 350`

`n = 12250/100`

`n = 122.5`

`122.5 " is " 35% " of " 350.`
