Answer by rapaljer(4671) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n = the unknown ("What percent" means n!)
"of" usually means "times"
"is" means "="

What percent of 175 is 35
n+%2A175=+35

This looks like the multiple choice b. 175n = 35

To eliminate the d. answer, you can divide both sides by 175, which gives you
%28n%2A175%29%2F175+=+35%2F175, which is NOT d!

Final answer = b. 175n = 35
