Answer 1

15 x 0.3 = 4.5
This is because 30% can be also written as 0.3 so you just multiply.
NOTE:I recommend watching a video of how to change percents to decimals.

Answer 2

50

Explanation:

1. 30% · X = 15

2. 30/100 · X = 15

3. Multiply both sides by 100

30·X=15·100

4. Divide both sides by 30

X = 15 · 100/30

5. X = 50
