Answer:

Well we can take this word for word into an expression

thirty percent of which is basically

0.3 *

We have an unknown number (what number) lets make that unknown number x

0.3 * x

And we want to know what is 13.5 which basically means equal 13.5

0.3 * x = 13.5

We solve for x

Solve from here.

I’m gonna multiply 10 on both sides

3 * x = 135

Now solve

x = 45
