Answer:13800

Explanation:

so first u do percent x whole = part. What is the percent? It is 3 but write it down as a decimal by doing 3/100 bc 100 is percent stuff. You would get 0.03. Now u find the whole which is obviously 460,000. So percent x whole is 0.03 x 460,000=13800. Ez

The easiest way to do this is to divide $460.000 by 100 and then multiply the anwser by 3. So...
$460.000÷100=$4600
$4600x3=$13800
3%=$13800
