We let x x be the number. Then we have

0.35 ( x ) = 105 0.35(x)=105 \color{#3D99F6}\large \implies x = 105 0.35 = x=\dfrac{105}{0.35}= 300 \color{#D61F06}\large \boxed{300} a n s w e r \large \boxed{answer}

here it is:

35 % 35\% % is = 105 105

or, 1 % 1\% % is= 105 35 \frac{105}{35}

or, 100 % 100\% % is= 105 × 100 35 \frac{105 \times 100}{35} = 300 300

The problem statement can be written as

35 % 35\% of N = 105 N=105

" o f of " means multiplication, so

35 100 ( N ) = 105 \dfrac{35}{100}(N)=105

N = 300 N=300

N * 35/100 = 105
So n = 105 * 100/35 = 300
