Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________________________________
3 is 15% of "x" ; solve for "x" .

15/100 = 0.15 .

(0.15)x = 3 ;

Multiply BOTH SIDES of the equation by "100" ; to get rid of the decimal value;

100* { (0.15)x = 3} ;

15x = 300 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "15" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" (in acres) ;

15x/15 = 300/15 ;

x = 20 .
