Answer:

60 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

So I don't know which way you will understand, but there are 2 ways to do this. (from what I know)

1. First way that I know

(we are getting rid of the 100, the point is to be left with x=#                                

35x/100=21  

    x100     x100

35x=2,100

/35     /35

x=60

2. Second way I know

100/35 =2.86

2.86x21=60.06
