We are looking at the number that when evaluated its 45%, we get 423. We let x be that original number. If we multiply x by 45%, or 0.45, we must get 423. We can write an equation representing this as


0.45* x=423

Solve for the value of x, we have


\begin{gathered} \frac{\cancel{0.45}x}{\cancel{0.45}}=(423)/(0.45) \\ x=(423)/(0.45) \\ x=945 \end{gathered}

Thus, the original number is equal to 945.

Answer: 945
