Answer:

500 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:

30% * x = 150

Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:

0.30 * x = 150

Divide both sides by 0.30:

x = 500 grams

Hope this helps!
