BrentGMATPrepNow · Answer

We might also try  plugging in the answer choices .

We can start by writing "0.35 represents what percent of 0.007?" as "0.35 equals what percent of 0.007?"
Or "What percent of 0.007 equals 0.35?"
Or just: _____ of 0.007 = 0.35

First note that   100%   of 0.007 = 0.007
So, we need a percent that's GREATER than 100%
ELIMINATE A, B, and C

Try answer choice D: 
 500%  of 0.007 = 5 x 0.007 = 0.035 
No good - eliminate D

By the process of elimination, the correct answer is  E

KSBGC · Answer

let say the percentage be x

so,

x% of 0.007 = 0.35

( \frac{x}{100} )0.007 = 0.35

0.007 x = 35

x = \frac{35}{0.007}

x = \frac{35000}{7}

x = 5000%

Thus the best answer is E.

Here is another method that you can use to solve such type of problems.

100% of a number = number itself 
Start formulating in this manner and proceed further step-by-step. 
 
100% of 0.007 is 0.007
1000% of 0.007 will be 0.07
10000% of 0.007 will be 0.7
 Therefore, 5000% of 0.007 will be 0.35

5000% (E) is the answer.

twinkle61990 · Answer

0.35 = x% *0.007
= 5000%

GCMEMBER · Answer

x = 0.35/0.007 *100
= 0.350/0.007 *100
= 350/7 *100
= 50 * 100
= 5000 %

0.35 > 0.007, the percent has to be more than 100. Eliminate A,B,C
D means 5 times, try it and we get 5*0.007 = 0.035, we are 10X smaller. E is the answer
