From the question, we are to determine the number that the teacher gave Ross

From the given information,

Mr. David gave Ross a number and asked him to divide it by 15.

Let the number be x

That is,

x/15

The quotient and remainder obtained by ross are 341 and 12 respectively

That is,

x/15 = 341 + 12/15

Now, we will solve the equation for x

x/15 = 341 + 12/15

Multiply through by 15

x = 15×341 + 12

x = 5115 + 12

x = 5127

Hence, the number the teacher gave Ross is 5127
