Answer:
$45
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Here I did "x is 15% of 300", and x will be how much you profit from 300.
2. My process is that "is" equals "=", which means that "x = 15% of 300"
3. "of" means to multiply, but you can't multiply that percent in that form, so you turn it into a decimal, becoming 0.15. We have clear that "of" means multiply, so now the entire thing is "x = 0.15(300)"
4. X will equal 45. So $45.
