Answer

42

Work Step by Step

We will use the variable, n, to denote the number that we want to find. We know that the percent (written as a decimal) multiplied by n must be equal to 6.3. Thus, we set up the following equation: .15n=6.3. We divide both sides of the equation by .15 to obtain that n=42.
