She drives 35% of the time before lunch.

=  35%  of 120 miles.

= 35/100 120 .  Simply cancel off each zero at the bottom and top.

= 35/10 12 = 3.5 * 12 =  42.    Using your calculator.

So she drove 42 miles before lunch.

so basically
percent means partsout of 100
35%=35/100=0.35

'of' means multiply
35% of 120=0.35 times 120=42
answer is 42 miles
