Question

What is 3.5% of 350,000?

Answer 1

12,250

Answer 2

All percent questions like this will likely follow the form "What number (n) is a certain percent (p) of another number (m)?" "Is" indicates "=", "of" indicates multiplication.
So, what number (n) = 3.5% (p) of another number 350,000?
3.5% written as a decimal that you can work with is .035 (which is 3.5 times 100).
So, n=.035(350,000).
You could rewrite .035 as a fraction and multiply then simplify.
