Answer: 15,000
Step-by-step explanation:
replace "is" with = (equal sign)
replace "of" with × (multiplication sign)
and divide 0.3% by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the left) to convert it from a percent to a decimal. --> 0.3% = 0.003
Then solve the equation!
Let n represent the unknown number, then
[tex]45=0.003n\\\\\\\dfrac{45}{0.003}=\dfrac{0.003n}{0.003}\\\\\\\large\boxed{15,000}=n[/tex]
