112

This is a part because we are asked to find what part of 64 is 175 percent of 64. In order to find a part, we take the percentage and divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal. We multiply this decimal by the original number to get the answer. Thus, we divide 175 by 100 to get 1.75. We multiply 64 by 1.75 to get an answer of 112.
