Answer: 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both sides of the equation.
3/20x=45
Multiply both sides by 20/3.
(20/3)*(3/20x)=(20/3)*45
That comes to 300, which is the answer to the first part of your question: 15% of a number is 45
Now for the second part of the question: What is 16% of that number (which we already know is 300)
To find the percent of a number, you have to multiply the percent by the number and simplify.
16/100*300/1 = 4/25*300/1 = 1200/25 = 48
