Morphology
one + hundred + seventy-five
The meaning is completely compositional: a learner who knows 'one', 'hundred', and 'seventy-five' can combine them to calculate 1×100 + 75 = 175. This follows regular, cross‑linguistically familiar numeric composition rules in English, so no prior exposure is required.
Etymology
One hundred seventy-five is made from one hundred and seventy-five, so it literally means '175'.
