Answer:

7

Explanation:

An easy way to find any percentage of a number is to multiply with decimals. To do this you have to first convert the percentage to a decimal. Do this by moving the decimal point in the percentage 2 places to the left. This means that 2.0% becomes 0.02. Then, multiply this decimal by the whole number. So, 0.02*350. This equals 7, which is 2% of 350.

This same trick will work with any problem. For example 38% of 435 is the same as 0.38*435, which equals 165.3.
