We start with the equation

n × 35 = 21

If we want n to represent a percent (in decimal form), then we are essentially asking:

“What percent of 35 is 21?”

To solve the problem, follow these steps:

1. Solve for n:
  n = 21 ÷ 35
  n = 0.6

2. Convert the decimal to a percentage:
  0.6 × 100 = 60%

Thus, 21 is 60% of 35.

Note on the other related percent questions:
• “What number is 21% of 35?” would be computed as 0.21 × 35 ≈ 7.35.
• “What percent of 21 is 35?” would involve solving 21 × n = 35, giving n ≈ 1.6667, or about 166.67%.
• “35 is 21% of what number?” leads to 0.21 × n = 35, so n ≈ 166.67.

However, the equation n × 35 = 21 directly corresponds to the question “What percent of 35 is 21?”, with the answer being 60%.
60% of 35 is 21.

Write a basic percent problem, the solution to which can be found by solving the equation \( n \cdot 35=21 \) What percent of 35 is 21 ? What number is \( 21 \% \) of 35 ? What percent of 21 is 35 ? 35 is \( 21 \% \) of what number?
