Final answer:

To find the equivalence of 5% of 35, convert 5% to a decimal (0.05) and then multiply by 35 to get 1.75. Therefore, any option equal to 1.75 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what has the same value as 5% of 35, first convert the percentage into a decimal.

Since 5% means 5 out of 100, or 5:100, we calculate it as follows:

  1. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
    5% = 0.05.
  2. Multiply this decimal by the number 35:
    0.05 × 35.
  3. The result is 1.75, which is the same value as 5% of 35.

Hence, any option that equals 1.75 would be correct.
