SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In this question, we are meant to solve the following:

45%of what is 81?

Step 2:

Let the unknown number be x, such that:


\begin{gathered} 45\text{ \% of x = 81} \\ (45)/(100)\text{ of x = 81} \\ \\ (45x)/(100)=81 \\ \end{gathered}

Cross-multiply, we have that:


\begin{gathered} 45x\text{ = 8100} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 45, we have that:} \\ \text{x =}(8100)/(45) \\ x\text{ = 180} \end{gathered}

CONCLUSION:

The final answer is:


x\text{ = 180}
