Mixture Problem

Can someone explain this mixture problem to me please. Thanks much!

A saline solution contains 8 grams of sodium chloride for every 100 milliliters of solution. If 35 milliliters of such a solution were poured into an empty beaker, how many grams of sodium chloride would the beaker contain?

A 2.8
B 3.2
C 3.9
D 5.6
E 28
