The equation for this would be a/b = p%/100
Plug in the variables to equal a/35 = 340 / 100
Do cross multiplication so you get 35Ă—340 = 100a
11900 = 100a
119 = a
This means that 340% of 35 is 119.

Another way to do this is to simply multiply 35 by 3.4, which would also equal 119. If there was another equation, for example 70% of 35, multiply 35 by 0.7 to get 24.5. So you move the percent two decimal places.

340% is equal to 3.4.
You multiply 3.4 and 35.
3.4x35=119
Just saying, usually "of" means multiply.
so basically it's saying 3.4 multiplied by 35.
