the exponent tells you how many times to multiply the base number by itself.
for 35 the base number or base is 3 and the exponent is 5
the value is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 which has 3 multiplied by itself five times
So your question is going in the opposite direction.
Rather than going from a power and expanding it, we have the expanded form and we are asked to write the power
3 x 3 x 3 is written 33
