The answer is: 180 .
______________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_______________
30 % = 30/100 = 0.30 ;
____________________________
54 = 0.30 * x ; ↔ 54 = 0.3 x;
_____________________________
→ Divide EACH side fo the equation by "0.3" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x"
______________________________
→ 54/0.3 = 0.3x/0.3 ;
___________________
→ 180 = x; ↔ x = 180 ; which is our answer.
