Morphology

one + hundred + thirty-five

The meaning is fully compositional: 'one' + 'hundred' + 'thirty-five' combines by standard numeric formation rules to yield 1×100 + 35 = 135. This decimal/positional pattern is cross-linguistically regular and follows predictable English counting rules, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent number words will understand the MWE.

Etymology

One hundred thirty-five comes from basic counting: it joins one hundred, meaning 100, and thirty-five, meaning 35, so it names 'the number 135'.
