You can do this in your head or using a calculator. First, to get 10% of a number, move the decimal point one space in from the right toward the left. That's 25.0 for your example. Now, to get 30%, we just add that 3 times. That's 25 + 25 + 25 = 75. Now we need 5% more. We take our 10% (25) and cut it in half to get the 5% needed. That's 25/2= 12.5. Add the 5% to the 30%. That's 75 + 12.5 = 87.5. So, now you know that 35% of 250 is 87.5 (In money, that's $87.50). With a calculator, all you need to do is multiply 250 by .35. So,

250*.35= 87.5. Notice that I've turned 35% into the decimal .35 which is equal to 35%. 35 hundredths (.35) means 35 out of 100 which means 35%.
