See a solution process below:

"Percent" or "%" means "per 100" or "out of 100". Therefore, 35% can be written as $35/100$ .,

When dealing with percentages like this "of" means to multiply.

Let's call the number we are looking for $n$ .

Putting this all together and solving for $n$ gives:

$n = 35/100 xx 600$

$n = 21000/100$

$n = 210$

$color(red)(210)$ is 35% of 600.
